Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon gelatin
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 count probiotic capsules
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, pour 3 cups of coconut milk and heat over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally. Heat until it's steaming but not boiling, approximately 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of gelatin with the remaining 1 cup of coconut milk. Stir well to dissolve the gelatin completely.
Pour the gelatin and coconut milk mixture into the heated coconut milk in the saucepan, stirring constantly to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool down to about 110°F (43°C) or until it's warm to the touch.
Stir in the honey and vanilla extract, if using, ensuring everything is well mixed.
Open the probiotic capsules and sprinkle the contents into the coconut milk mixture. Use a whisk to mix gently but thoroughly, ensuring that the probiotics are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into sterilized glass jars, leaving about half an inch of space at the top. Seal them with a lid or cover with cheesecloth secured by a rubber band.
Place the jars in a warm place to ferment. This can be inside an oven with the light on, a dehydrator set at 110°F, or a yogurt maker. Let it ferment for 12-24 hours, depending on your preference for tartness.
After fermentation, refrigerate the jars for at least 4 hours to set the yogurt fully.
Stir the yogurt before serving to ensure even consistency. Enjoy your homemade Paleo yogurt with your favorite toppings!
