Re: Re: Q on Coconut Yogurt

[Guest guest]

Would 1/2 pack of gelatin per 1 liter (may get enough for 2 but I'm not sure yet) make it more jelly like?  I have what looks like a ton of coconut--the bag said 10oz.  Was that too much?  Can I batch and freeze to make a 'coconut kugel-like' pie?

 

Thanks,

Debbie,Regular yogurt be it either cow or goat/sheeps never worked for me during allergy season as dairy always makes my allergies worse. I actually once got sick from stopping the yogurt and then getting totally cocky so when it was time to reintro I jumped straight back into my regular serving. This was like 6 weeks after I stopped it.

The coconut yogurt seems to help my immunity that helps the allergies.It can come out quite heavy and fatty though- so be aware.Jodi

Less gelatin will make the mixture looser - you can try that if you like. Coconut yogurt strikes me as nothing like kugel so I have no clue whatyou are asking there. Also, freezing reduces the efficacy of the probiotics. But freezing might taste good - like a coconut ice cream. I'd probablyadd a flavor to it before I did that, lemon or strawberry or raspberry or banana or something. You can certainly add more water to the coconut milk initially to make itless thick and fatty.

Debbie,I usually soak my gelatin in a bit of liquid (doesn't need to be hot) for about 10 mins then place the bowl over another pan with hot water (double boiler type arrangement) and let it melt, stirring until smooth. Then I add it to whatever I am using. At that point you could add it to the still warm yogurt.AmeliaTo:

Hey Debbie,

So when you pull the coconut yogurt post fermentation you need to let it cool and really let the gelatin dissolve in a seperate bowl. Once the gelatin dissolves quickly whisk that in to the coconut yogurt RIGHT AFTER YOU SHAKE THE YOGURT!! So first shake fermented watery coconut yogurt, let gelatin dissolve and cool and whisk in promptly. Place in fridge. When you pull it out it will be completely seperated so you must mix the top layer in with the liquidy bottom layer. I too have some gelatin chunks from time to time. I think this is also contingent on the water/coconut shred ratio when making the actual coconut milk.

What you have is totally good. Mix it up and then throw in a blender with some fruit or banana and avocado some vanilla extract and YUM YUM YUM. I also add a dash of sea salt.

Beyond friggen delish. High-light of my day!

Ok, the yogurt wasn't warm.  I melted the gelatin separately then whisked it in and refrigerated it.  It'll be put to good use.  I'll add it to a smoothie or something.  I'm already trying to think of a non-cook pudding type of thingie since it's kind of like tapioca except it's gelatin (which I've read that's what most tapioca is now anyway).

 

Thanks, I just hope it helps with my allergies to have non-dairy yogurt for now!
