Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Jody, I'll try making yogurt with macadamias. Have you tried it? Does it have a strong taste? I tried making it with Brazil nuts, but it had a strong taste and my son rejected it. Theresa Re: Coconut yogurt? How about macadamias to make the yogurt? I still haven't heard of anyone successfully making coconut yogurt. If someone has, please share the recipe.

For the milk, I take desiccated coconut flakes and run them in the food processor to make it as small as possible. Then, I run it again with an equal part of warm to hot water. Then, I strain it through a cloth coffee filter that I found at an Asian grocery store. It is a fair amount of work to squeeze all the milk out of the meat. For the yogurt, I use 4 cups of the milk (which means I did 4 cups coconut meat and 4 cups water above), add 2 Tbsp. honey and 1/8 tsp. GI Pro Health ProGurt (casein free) starter and just whisk it really well. Then, stick it in the yogurt maker (I have the euro cuisine with all the little jars) for 12 hours. I stir it at about 4 and 8 hours and again right before sticking it in the fridge. It does separate again in the fridge, but not into a hard layer of coconut oil like if it's not stirred. It's definitely a liquid, not yogurt like at all in consistency, but I just think of it as lassi. :-) It's very delicious! For the almond milk recipe, Donna says you can use 1/4 tsp. of starter and ferment for 8 hours, but when I did that with the nut yogurt once it didn't come out quite as well, so I haven't tried it with the coconut milk. I also don't know what the purpose of the honey is. I'm guessing that it's just for flavor in the nut yogurt, but I keep adding it anyway. Also, I think the milk isn't supposed to be too hot when you add the starter, but it's always about room temp. by the time I squeeze all the milk from the meat. If this isn't clear, let me know. I originally wrote this up for another group. :-) Steph, Aspie, IgA allergic to gluten & casein SCD 2 1/2 months -- http://www.PraiseMoves.com The Christian Alternative to Yoga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I made a drinkable coconut yogurt, saved some of the drinkable yogurt containers, and my lil guy felt like he was drinking " mamas yogurt " He was way excited!! First I drained the water out of about 3 large white coconuts into a thermos (light destroys the enzymes and nutrients, supposedly) I then added about 3 of my probiotic capsules to the water, set it in a warm place (on my stove) and let it ferment for about 2-3 days. Once it was all fizzy, I combined all the fermented water in the blender with: about the equivilant of one can coconut milk, 1 bag frozen strawberries, and 2 bananas. It definitely wasn't thick enough for " real " yogurt, but it worked as a drinkable!! Becky Re: Coconut yogurt? How about macadamias to make the yogurt?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hi guys: Can fresh coconut meat be dripped dry and used as legal? I know that it makes a very smooth thick and creamy milk and that milk can be made into a frozen dessert with vanilla, honey and cinnamon. Kids love to scrape it of with a spoon or eat it as shaved ice/granita. This makes me think that fresh meat might make a creamier thicker yogurt. Has anybody tried this if legal? thanks maria mom to fiol 14mo ASD > > > > > > I made a drinkable coconut yogurt, saved some of the drinkable yogurt > containers, and > my lil guy felt like he was drinking " mamas yogurt " He was way excited!! > > > > First I drained the water out of about 3 large white coconuts into a > thermos (light > destroys the enzymes and nutrients, supposedly) I then added about 3 of > my probiotic > capsules to the water, set it in a warm place (on my stove) and let it > ferment for about 2-3 > days. > > > > Once it was all fizzy, I combined all the fermented water in the > blender with: > > about the equivilant of one can coconut milk, 1 bag frozen > strawberries, and 2 > bananas. > > > > It definitely wasn't thick enough for " real " yogurt, but it worked as > a drinkable!! > > Elaine said, > " Coconut milk, Legal, May be tried after being on the diet for 6 months.
