COCONUT YOGURT MADE WITH AYAM COCONUT CREAM.

By popular demand we’re bringing you another coconut yogurt recipe. It’s dairy free, vegan and Paleo. With so many people choosing coconut yogurt over the dairy variety, we thought we would offer another simple method. This yogurt recipe uses Ayam Coconut cream, which is readily available in supermarkets and Asian grocers. Ayam coconut cream (the green tin) is super thick and creamy to begin with so the result is equally as lovely. Yay no thickener required. This recipe is fast and cheap to make – truly bringing homemade coconut yogurt to the masses!

For other homemade coconut yogurt methods that don’t require any added thickener try these recipes:

Guaranteed perfect coconut yogurt with no added thickener
Coconut yogurt made from frozen coconut chunks
Coconut yogurt made from young drinking coconuts
Date sweetened cashew and coconut yogurt

 

FEED THE BACTERIA

In traditional dairy milk yogurt the bacteria in starter culture thrive on the sugar content (lactose). Alternative milks naturally have less sugar than dairy milk, so it is necessary to add some sugar with the starter culture to promote fermentation. The bacteria populating your homemade coconut yogurt must have something to feed on to allow the culturing process to take place. One teaspoon of sugar or one tablespoon of pasteurised honey is enough to kick start fermentation. Raw honey may have an antibiotic effect and is therefore not suitable for making yogurt.

Preparation

Thoroughly wash or sterilise your yogurt container and whisk with boiling water.
