Ingredients
- 800 ml full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
- 1 vanilla bean
- 2 capsules probiotic capsules (with live cultures)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, pour 800 ml of full-fat coconut milk.
Step 2
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of gelatin powder over the milk and let it sit for a few minutes to bloom.
Step 3
Meanwhile, slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add both the seeds and the pod to the coconut milk.
Step 4
Warm the saucepan over medium heat until the gelatin dissolves completely, and the coconut milk is warm but not boiling. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow it to cool to a lukewarm temperature (about 105°F/40°C).
Step 6
Once the mixture has cooled, remove the vanilla bean pod, and add 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir thoroughly until the honey is well incorporated.
Step 7
Open the probiotic capsules and stir the powder into the mixture, discarding the capsule shells.
Step 8
Pour the mixture into clean glass jars or a yogurt maker container.
Step 9
Cover the containers with clean cloths or jar lids, and let them sit in a warm place for at least 12-24 hours to ferment.
Step 10
Taste the yogurt after 12 hours; for a tangier flavor, allow it to ferment longer.
Step 11
Once fermented to your taste preference, refrigerate the yogurt for at least 4 hours to set further and chill.
Step 12
Serve chilled as is or with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds according to your Paleo dietary preferences.
