I don't know why it would fail. Maybe they just got

yogurt and didn't realize it, or didn't like it. It's not

hard. But all that experience making nut milk

yogurt last year certainly gave me more experience

that the runny, separated product with that particular

taste was indeed yogurt. <g>

And yeah, come to think of it, I heard a whole

bunch of times that making coconut yogurt

was hard - more finicky than nutmilk, which is

one reason I didn't give it a try earlier.

It's not at all true.

Really, the gelatin idea was ingenious - Amelia,

was that your original idea - or was it something

you read about elsewhere? Props either way.

It totally transforms it.
