Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Agar-agar powder
- 4 capsules Probiotic capsules
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 4 medium Apples
- 120 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
To make the dairy-free yogurt, start by pouring 800 ml of coconut milk into a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Once simmering, add 1 teaspoon of agar-agar powder to the coconut milk, stirring constantly to avoid clumping. Allow it to dissolve completely.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool down to about 43°C (110°F).
Open 4 probiotic capsules and stir the powder into the cooled coconut mixture along with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Mix well.
Pour the mixture into sterilized jars or a glass container, cover with a clean cloth, and let it ferment in a warm place for 12-24 hours or until tangy and set.
For the homemade applesauce, peel and core 4 medium apples, and chop them into small pieces.
Place the chopped apples in a saucepan with 120 ml of water and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples become soft and start to break down, approximately 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and mash the apples to your desired consistency. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Allow both the yogurt and applesauce to cool completely. Serve the creamy dairy-free yogurt topped with a generous spoonful of homemade applesauce.
