Indulge in the creamy, dairy-free delight of Vegan Homemade Sweet Yogurt, a simple yet satisfying recipe that blends wholesome soy milk, natural maple syrup, and a touch of vanilla for a perfectly balanced sweetness. This plant-based yogurt owes its velvety texture to agar agar, a vegan gelling agent, and its gut-friendly benefits to probiotic powder, ensuring a nourishing treat for both flavor and health. With just 15 minutes of prep and customizable fermentation time, this homemade yogurt is the perfect base for your favorite toppings, from fresh fruit to crunchy granola. Ideal for vegan lifestyles and lactose-free diets, this recipe transforms everyday ingredients into a probiotic-rich, naturally sweetened masterpiece.
In a medium saucepan, pour the soy milk and sprinkle the agar agar powder over the top to avoid clumping.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure the agar agar is fully dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool to about 110°F (43°C), or when it feels just warm to the touch.
Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract, mixing well to evenly distribute the sweetener and flavoring.
Open the probiotic capsules and sprinkle the powder into the cooled milk mixture. Stir gently to combine, but do not reheat.
Pour the mixture into clean, sterilized glass jars or a yogurt maker containers.
Cover the jars with lids and let them culture in a warm place for 8 to 12 hours, or until it thickens to your preferred consistency.
Once the yogurt is set, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to cool and further thicken before serving.
Enjoy the vegan homemade sweet yogurt as is, or with your favorite fruits, granola, or nuts.
