How To Make Probiotic Coconut Milk Yogurt

Homemade fermented coconut milk yogurt with probiotic culture

Probiotic coconut milk yogurt is a rich and creamy dairy-free yogurt. Unlike other vegan yogurts (soy milk or almond milk) coconut milk yogurt can be as thick as you want without any additives. Just use a good quality preservative free coconut milk (affiliate link) that contains some coconut cream.

What to do with cultured coconut milk

Coconut milk yogurt is a great way to get more probiotics into your diet.

  1. Mix it into smoothies, or popsicles.
  2. Have it for breakfast with oatmeal, granola, waffles or pancakes.
  3. Serve it with Thai pumpkin curry soup or an Indian Mung bean curry.
  4. Use it for a dairy-free cream of broccoli soup.
  5. Or add some fresh berries for a delicious snack!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of coconut milk (preservative free)
  • 2 tbsp of culture (see notes)

Instructions

  1. Mix the coconut milk with the culture in a glass container.
  2. Mesophilic cultures (milk kefir or buttermilk) will ferment at room temperature. When using a mesophilic culture leave it out on the counter for 24 hours.
  3. Thermophilic cultures (yogurt), heat the coconut milk up to 108-110 F (40 C). Stir in the culture and maintain the temperature for 10 hours. See notes for more information.

Notes

  • There isn’t a specific culture that eats coconut milk, so you can use any yogurt or dairy culture that you want. However, the culture won’t be happy in coconut milk, so you will need to use fresh culture for each batch of coconut milk.
  • Milk kefir makes a nice thick coconut milk.  Just be sure to refresh the kefir grains in milk after every batch of cultured coconut milk.  Kefir is great because it can be made at room temperature, however, it’s not OK for people looking to avoid dairy contamination.
  • Vegan yogurt is a great way to avoid dairy contamination.  Just make sure to use a healthy and active culture.
  • Purchased starters (affiliate link) are ideal for anyone wanting to make consecutive batches of coconut milk yogurt. They are certain to provide a good, healthy culture.
  • Here’s how to keep yogurt warm without a yogurt maker.

    This looks good! Do you have to refrigerate it after you make it?

      Yes! Ferments need to be stored in the fridge to slow the fermentation.

      I’m guessing that you didn’t ferment it… so I can’t recommend eating it. Sorry!
