Coconut Yogurt

Step 1

Empty the coconut cream and Coconut Milk into a pot.

Step 2

Put the pot on a gentle heat and while stirring bring the mix up to a temperature of 82C to pasteurize it.

Step 3

Take the pot off the stove and stir it while testing the temperature until it gets to 40C.

Step 4

Add a small amount of live culture to inoculate the mix with the specific culture. We're using a probiotic in coconut powder, but you could also use a teaspoon of plain commercial milk yogurt.

Step 5

Mix well and pour the liquid into the setting container.

Step 6

Add boiling water to the insulated container to around the bottom of where the setting jar will sit.

Step 7

Add the setting jar to the insulated container, seal it and leave to grow in a warm corner of the kitchen to 2 days. Replacing the hot water once it has gone cold (every 6 hours or so).

Step 8

It's ready when you can see a separation between the white yogurt and the straw coloured "whey".

Step 9

Put the mix in the fridge and it wills et a little harder as the coconut oil emulsified throughout the mix hardens.
