Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 So, Amelia, how did you find it making coconut milk yogurt. I did almond milk yogurt last year, which I did not love - and hazelnut, which was worse, but I heard anecdotally that it was harder to make coconut milk yogurt. Was that your experience - or was everything easy? Also, do you just use the room temperature coconut milk, as you do for nutmilk yogurt?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Mara,The way I tried it was making the coconut milk, putting in the proper fermenting temperature range with a tablespoon or so of honey, adding the starter powder, then fermented it for about 8 - 10 hours. Dissolve/melt the gelatin (soak in about 1 tablespoon or so warm water 10 mins then melt over a double boiler until just melted), mix into the coconut yogurt, and then refrigerate. You can periodically stir to make it more uniform (does tend to separate) and fluffier in texture until it is set. It is a little like eating a sweet and slightly sour coconut jello. It sounds weird, but is addicting to me after the first spoonful! I may have to start doing this again! ; )AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 19 monthsLDN 3 mgTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Thu, February 4, 2010 11:38:31 PMSubject: Re: Coconut yogurt?

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 ,YEAH! You will be reaping really good benefits of the probiotic, but also benefits of the coconut -- antimicrobial and good for yeast overgrowth.Happy eating!AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Mon, February 8, 2010 11:39:45 PMSubject: RE: Coconut yogurt?

I think most gelatin packets contain about a 1 TBSP of crystals, so use all with about 2 cups of coconut milk for a very firm yogurt or use half for a softer one. It is whatever you prefer. If you use all, you might need to use 2 tablespoons of water for the soaking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 So I made this.It's not out of the fridge yet, but I'm pretty skeptical at the moment.First of all, the coconut milk totally separated (just like thealmond milk used to). And then it tastesweird - kind of like the almond milk yogurt did. I did add somehoney to the gelatin because it was really sour tasting. I'm hoping for transformative miracles during the fridge time,but not really expecting it. Also, it's my first time using gelatin, so that was weird, too, butafter the first time, it won't be tricky. I bought a bunch as there's this new kosher kind available.

If I remember correctly, Donna, who used to make almond yogurt, said that blending the separated milk back together a couple times during fermentation helped with the consistency of the final product. Ditto stirring a bit during the chill-down. I'll be interested to see how it comes out.
