Ingredients
  • 2 cups coconut milk Real Thai or Aroy-D brands
  • 1 tbsp. maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp. tapioca flour/starch or 1 tbsp. gelatin for non-vegan option
  • 4 probiotic capsules lactobacillus & bifido bactera (Natural Factors)* see notes
  • 6 tbsp. collagen optional and NOT vegan
Instructions
  1. Add coconut milk & maple syrup to a small saucepan and whisk together.

  2. Bring coconut milk & maple syrup to a gentle simmer (it will lightly steam, but not bubble) on the stove and stir in 2 tbsp. tapioca starch or 1 tbsp. gelatin. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

  3. Break open probiotic capsules and stir into coconut milk mixture. Once you've made a couple batches you can save a little bit from the previous batch and use that as your starter instead of the probiotic capsules.

  4. Pour mixture into a 500ml mason jar and lightly seal. Place a piece of parchment between the lid and the jar before closing.

  5. Place in the oven with the light on overnight for approximately 12 hours. I will also leave the jar at the back of my stovetop between the elements and allow the ambient heat from my cooking to help the fermentation process.    

  6. Test in the morning. It’s done when slightly curdled and fragrant. Depending on temperature
    I have left it out for anywhere from 12-36 hours.

  7. Stir until smooth and refrigerate. Always use a clean utensil when taking yogurt out of the jar to prevent mold from growing.

Recipe Notes

* You can also use about 2-4 tbsp. of your favourite dairy free yogurt as a starter. Or if you're not sensitive to dairy, but just want to try out a dairy-free option, you can use your regular yogurt as a starter!

Top with berries, nuts, seeds, or this delicious homemade granola for a probiotic-rich breakfast or snack. You can also use it to top this amazing Grain-Free Rhuberry Crumble, this Bluebarb Pie, Gingerberry Apple Crisp, or this Apple Sweet Potato Crumble for a decadent dessert.
