Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon agar-agar powder
- 4 capsules probiotic capsules (vegan)
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for berry sauce)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and maple syrup. Heat the mixture over medium heat until just warm, being careful not to boil.
Add the agar-agar powder to the milk mixture and whisk until fully dissolved. Continue heating the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken slightly (approximately 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool to about body temperature (95-100°F).
Open the probiotic capsules and gently stir the contents into the cooled milk mixture. (Do not add the capsules themselves.)
Pour the mixture into clean jars or containers, cover them loosely with lids, and place them in a warm, dark place to ferment for 12-24 hours. The longer it ferments, the tangier it will become.
Once the yogurt has fermented to your liking, transfer the jars to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. The yogurt will thicken further as it cools.
While the yogurt chills, prepare the berry sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the berries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat until the berries start to break down, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the berry mixture and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
Remove the berry sauce from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
To serve, spoon the chilled yogurt into bowls or cups and top with the berry sauce. Optional: Garnish with fresh fruit, nuts, or granola.
Enjoy your homemade vegan yogurt with berry sauce!
