Ingredients

• 400 ml Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
• 250 ml Unsweetened almond milk
• 200 grams Fresh or frozen mixed wild berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Agar-agar powder
• 2 capsules Probiotic capsules (vegan-friendly, optional for fermenting)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and agar-agar powder. Whisk well to dissolve the agar-agar.

Step 2

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to simmer. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes to fully activate the agar-agar.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to around 40°C (104°F), warm but not hot. This step is important if you're adding probiotics, as high heat can kill the beneficial bacteria.

Step 4

Blend the wild berries, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds if desired.

Step 5

Once the milk mixture has cooled, stir in the berry puree. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

If using probiotic capsules, open them and sprinkle the contents into the mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into clean glass jars or containers with lids. Leave a small gap at the top to allow for expansion.

Step 8

Seal the jars and place them in a warm spot to ferment for 12-24 hours, depending on how tangy you prefer your yoghurt. For non-fermented yoghurt, skip this step and refrigerate immediately.

Step 9

After fermentation (if applicable), transfer the jars to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours. This will also help the yoghurt set properly.

Step 10

Stir the yoghurt before serving and enjoy it as is, or top with fresh berries, granola, or your favorite dairy-free toppings.
