Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 capsules probiotic capsules
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Soak the raw cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften them.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, 2 cups of water, agave syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
Open the probiotic capsules and add the powder to the blender. Blend again briefly to incorporate the probiotics into the mixture.
Pour the cashew blend into a clean glass bowl or jar, and cover it with a clean, breathable fabric or paper towel. Secure it with a rubber band.
Let the mixture ferment at room temperature (around 70°F/21°C) undisturbed for 24-48 hours. The longer it sits, the tangier it will become.
After fermentation, taste the yogurt. If it has reached your desired tanginess, stir it well and transfer it to an airtight container.
Refrigerate the yogurt for at least 2 hours to chill and thicken before serving.
Serve your vegan yogurt as is, or with fresh fruit, granola, or a dash of cinnamon as toppings.
