Easy coconut cream yoghurt

Show your gut some gratitude and take care of it with this probiotic rich yoghurt. Load your body with good bacteria which will help in fighting off disease and keep all the systems in your body function optimally.

Ingredients: Homemade yogurt

  • 400-540mls of coconut cream (Kara is a great brand to use)
  • 2 tbsp probiotic coconut cream yoghurt (good quality store-bought one or a previous batch)
  • OR 3-4 probiotic capsules
  • A large sterilised jar for the yoghurt

Method:

Place the coconut cream in the glass jar and add the coconut cream yoghurt or probiotic capsules then stir well.

Screw on the lid and leave the coconut cream to ferment in a warm spot or on the kitchen bench out of direct sunlight. It should thicken up a little and you may see little tiny air bubbles on the sides, which is a good sign of active lactic acid bacteria. It usually takes between 12-24 hours to develop a nice tang.

Taste test the yoghurt every 12-24 hours until you like the tanginess/flavour. It will also continue to get a little more tangy in the fridge.

Place it into the fridge and allow it to chill completely before eating it. It will thicken up more once chilled.

Note: Different brands of coconut cream will make the yoghurt thicker or thinner, trial different brands to see which one you prefer.
