Easy Coconut Yoghurt Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
• 3 cans of coconut milk (Max 1.5L)
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• Yoghurt starter culture
(follow packet instructions)
1
Open the cans and spoon the coconut milk directly into your yoghurt making jars. Note:
Depending on the temperature of your home the coconut milk will vary in consistency. On a
hot day, the coconut milk will be runny while in cool weather you will need to spoon it out.
2
Add the sugar and your preferred starter culture, gently whisk it in.
3
Put the lid on and place into your yoghurt maker. The coconut milk is now ready to begin
fermentation.

After 24 hours the fermentation is complete. Switch the yoghurt maker off and remove
the yoghurt jars. Straight from the warm maker, the yoghurt will be runny and the coconut
cream will have separated with coconut water at the bottom. This is normal. In the fridge, the
coconut cream will set firm.
6
Place the jars in the fridge for at least 6 hours to chill and set.
7
Thoroughly stir the yoghurt to incorporate the cream and coconut water before serving.
For extra thick coconut yoghurt, pour out some of the coconut water before stiring. Don't
throw it away though - fermented coconut water is perfect added to smoothies or may be used
as a probiotic milk alternative.

PLEASE NOTE:
Coconut cream should be
preservative free, additive free
and gluten free. Also the cans
should have BPA free lining.
and time to 24 hours.
TIPS:
24-hour yoghurt, even when made perfectly, will be thinner and runnier than other
yoghurt you've had. This is because it doesn't have added thickeners and because it
hasn't been 'dripped.' If you want thicker yoghurt, the first option is to drip it.
Dripping is what turns plain yoghurt into 'Greek yoghurt.' It's the process of removing
the whey, which is liquid. Dripped yoghurt is also higher in protein per serving than
regular yoghurt. Dripping yoghurt is easy to do, just strain the yoghurt through a
cheesecloth. The excess whey (liquid) will drain away, leaving you with a thicker
yoghurt.
Another option is to add a thickener like gelatin to the milk before fermenting it. Since
gelatin is beneficial for gut health, adding gelatin to 24-hour yoghurt is a win-win. To
thicken your milk with gelatin, add 1 tablespoon of gelatin per 4 cups of milk before
heating the milk.

Feel free to experiment with other additive-free brands of coconut cream to make this recipe.
Cans with a large percentage of 'coconut pulp' and a small portion of coconut water make
better yoghurt. .
