Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 4 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tsp Agar agar powder
- 4 capsules Probiotic capsules
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, pour the full-fat coconut milk and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
As the milk reaches a boil, add the agar agar powder and whisk it in thoroughly. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes while constantly whisking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to around 110°F (43°C) – warm to the touch but not hot.
Once cooled, open the probiotic capsules and gently stir the contents into the coconut milk mixture. Make sure not to stir vigorously or it may damage the probiotics.
Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into a clean glass jar or a bowl, then cover it with a clean cloth secured with a rubber band or string.
Let the mixture sit in a warm environment, such as inside a turned-off oven with the light on, for 12-24 hours. The longer it sits, the tangier the yogurt will become.
Once the yogurt has reached your desired taste, cover it with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours to thicken.
Stir the yogurt gently before serving. Enjoy it plain or with your choice of dairy-free granola or fruits.
