I've been making my own yoghurt for some time now- I take it to work with homemade maple granola and apple/berry purée as a sweetener. I ferment mine anywhere between 35-45C (in a water bath) as that's when the bacteria are most active (according to McGee's encyclopaedia of kitchen science, history and culture). You can go lower but it does take longer though you do tend to get a firmer product. If you're in a cold climate you could gently warm the coconut milk and add the bacteria (like with bread baking and yeast) and keep it in a warm place in a jar. If you do also heat it you can incorporate aromatics like vanilla, chai tea or any myriad of spices/flavours- cinnamon with coconut would be rad. If you want thicker yoghurt I'd recommend straining it with cheesecloth- the "whey" is also the sour part- so if you're after a thicker, sweeter yoghurt do this. Also it would be really sweet to try labneh with this- strain and make into balls and marinate in flavoured olive oil. I've seen non-dairy yoghurt work with soy milk, but would be interested to know whether it could possible work with nut milks given their lower fat content. If you're patient you could always make your own bacteria culture- Peaceful Cuisine has made one with brown rice that's worth checking out on KZread :)

Do you get one or two bowls from the yoghurt if i were to do it this way? I once tried it before and that way i could let the yoghurt ferment and get the yoghurt part out of it and the more liquid part would ferment again, that would turn into yoghurt and that way i wouldve had an endless supply of yoghurt. I wonder if this would work the same way?

@jessnoack

I'm not sure what you mean- is the whole thing not fermenting? I prepare my new batches of yoghurt with the already fermented yoghurt, so I do have an endless supply. You can always scale up the recipe- I use 5g for every 100g of 'milk'- i.e. for 1kg milk, I have 50g of coconut/soy yoghurt to begin with that I mix into the milk. I think the liquid you mention is the whey that splits from the yoghurt, which does have bacteria in it but not a lot. I keep any for breadmaking or baking to use instead of water.

Just tried this and it came out so tasty! I didn't have any tapioca, so I used maizestarch instead and added a couple of tablespoons of store bought soy yoghurt as the culture and let ferment for about 24 hours. Coconutty and lovely, good job you guys!

Guys, I'm brazilian and it's really easy to find tapioca, however I like to use agar-agar to make it thicker. It gives the yogurt a great texture (not jelly), and I think it may be easy to find in Irland, and Europe in general. Well, I make the coconut milk from the fruit here, I don't if it change something, but it's an ideia! Only a table spoon for a liter is enough. Thank you guys for your videos, and all your work! You're a great inspiration for me! :D

I do this a lot but when I use young coconuts, it doesn't need any starch and it gets thick. Although the consistency is weirder than using the mature coconuts. I did make it from canned lately, at first I thought it would fail because it was sooo watery (I live in a country that is summer 80-90% of the time and rainy the rest) but once in the fridge, it become so thick. A lot like Greek yogurt! But the water did separate (I use this to add to my sourdough starter).

love you guys videos!! Always fun and informative

I love that this recipe is cultured! I hate having to sift through brands of non-dairy yogurt at the store to find ones with active cultures. Can't wait to make my own! Thanks.

This is brilliant. Wednesday of this week, I purchased a 4 oz. container of coconut yogurt for $4, usd. So you two have created the simplest recipe which I intend to replicate this weekend, thanks.

The Happy Pear And you are right, Biona Coconut milk is gritty not suitable for smooth texture. I used to have What On Earth organic coconut milk with loads of fat, but somehow they stopped selling them in the UK now... I alternatively use non organic one from Lidl with high fat content and very smooth (coconut tree normally grows without needing fertilisers so basically they are 'organic')... I don't use the liquid as they use some natural stabilisers...

IN Canada these ingredients are available at BUlk Barn, tapioca is with the group of gluten free flours and starches.

For everyone outside of ireland- “hotpress” is the small room where the heater is. We don’t have those in North America.

hey, thank you for all the great recipes! So I made this, the 1st version, in 19 hours, started to be very sour which is fine, but it is so watery. I put just the cream from the coconut milk, no liquid at all because I wanted it thick. Any ideas what I did wrong? maybe the quality of my coconut milk?

much needed recipe.😍

Thank you!!

Love you crazy guys, you always cheer me up, love your creations too. Just a thought guys can I put it overnight in the oven with the light on, that how I used to make my dairy yoghurt and now when I make soy yoghurt? 💚

hi guys! I love your videos!!! would arrowroot work for this recepy?

I have made coconut yoghurt with agar agar before but this way seems way faster. Really want to buy your cook book ^_^ Thanks and love from New Zealand

Hi, thank so much for the video! Makes me want to back to Ireland! It is beautiful there! You two are informative and adorable. I am on my 3 attempt to make vegan yogurt. I have watched a bunch of videos. Going to test yours out this time. (you may already know this, but incase you don't, even through this is technically dairy free, it's not ethically vegan as the probiotic used is cultured in dairy. I have vegan cultures... fingers crossed it works this time! I have agar for thickening... but next time I will try tapioca! Thanks gentlemen!

So excited to be able to eat yogurt again!! :D I've tried making it a couple of times and before I leave it to ferment it's nice and thick but when I come back after about 16 hours it has the acidic taste of yogurt but it's gone back to being very liquid again, almost like a Yop drink! I live in Vietnam so it's very warm so I have been just leaving it in a plastic container in the kitchen. Any tips? Please :) And thanks so much for all the inspirational videos!

I loved watching the two of you. In the US we don't do metric so I had to look up 20' and convert it. I was also thinking you guys would make an awesome DVD to watch at home, maybe think about combining some of your youtube video's to make and sell a Cooking DVD. Just an idea, people love to watch hours of cooking shows (me included) so why not? ♥ Keep up the good work, love ya!

Hi there, can I ask what coconut milk did you use? I am struggling to buy in the UK the one which is working well...

Brilliant! 😘

After you have made it the first time can you use some of it for a "starter" for your next batch?

Yo Duuuudes. Great vid lads! I have a question... Could I start my Yogurt ferment with a little bit of my sourdough starter? Or at least just the liquid on top of my starter where it separates? As in, would it be the same type of bacteria? Cheers

Is there any way to make this yoghurt continuously using the culture? as with kombucha. or do you need to do it fresh each time? thanks!

You think it’s realistic making my own almond milk and then making almond yogurt? Now i doubt I will find peace until I make damn thing. Thanks for inspiration!

One question about your sourdough bread. Do you leave your sourdough culture out on the counter or refrigerator.

I have a yogurt maker that I used back when I used to eat dairy. Can I use this for my coconut yogurt ?

Can I use corn starch ?

Can you also use rejuvelac?

Are you twins? Thanks for this info! Never knew it was so easy. You can also keep the yoghurt bowl in a warm place covered with a thick towel so it should ideally set in about 6-8 hours.

How long can you store it for and will it continue to get more acidic in flavor after the 24 hours?

Does the yogart continue to culture after the 24 hours as long as you keep it. Meaning what if I don't want to eat it all in one sitting? I wouldn't want it to turn into pure acid the longer it stays in the fridge.

Hi there! I live in Asia,can I use freshly bought coconut milk for this recipe?

Good job

more of fiona pls :D

I made this and the tapicoa just formed lumps in the coconut milk even though I made the paste first. I had to sieve it twice to try and save it ! What did I do wrong?

A third way to control thickness by straining the yoghurt through a couple of layers of cheese cloth.

Can u use corn starch instead of tapioca?

Can we store it after 24h? in the fridge for a couple of days? or does it need to be consumed right then?
