Ingredients

• 2 cups Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Agar-agar powder
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 Probiotic capsules (vegan-friendly)
• 1 cup Frozen mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Chia seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, agar-agar powder, and maple syrup.

Step 2

Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the agar-agar completely dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.

Step 3

Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool until it's lukewarm (around 100-110°F or 37-43°C).

Step 4

Open the probiotic capsules and gently stir the powder into the lukewarm mixture. Discard the capsule shells.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a clean, sterilized glass jar or bowl. Cover with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and secure it with a rubber band. Leave it to ferment in a warm spot (75-85°F or 24-29°C) for 12-24 hours, depending on how tangy you like your yogurt.

Step 6

Once fermented, transfer the yogurt to the refrigerator to chill and thicken. Stir well before serving.

Step 7

To make the fruit sauce, heat the frozen mixed berries and orange juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the berries release their juices and soften (about 5 minutes).

Step 8

Mash the berries slightly with a fork or potato masher to achieve a chunky texture, then stir in the chia seeds and vanilla extract. Cook for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.

Step 9

Spoon the chilled yogurt into serving bowls and top with the berry sauce.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store leftovers separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
