24 hour fermentation

[Guest guest]

This is probably a silly question but I was thinking about yogurt tonight. I

know that we have to ferment the yogurt for at least 24 hours to use up the

lactose. What happens when someone uses coconut milk to make their yogurt?

Does it still have to be fermented for 24 hours since there's no dairy to begin

with (especially if they use a nondairy starter)? I'm not planning on doing

this since I can't eat the yogurt but the thought crossed my mind so I thought I

would ask.

I have done this. I think fermentation is only about 8 hours. I added a little

bit of honey and gelatin to the milk once it was heated, blended well, cooled

and then added the starter and fermented. If you don't add the gelatin, it

won't be firm.

It is quite tasty!
