Coconut Yoghurt

Coconut yoghurt is a great creamy dairy alternative.

You will need:

• 800 ml (27 US fl oz) (or 2 standard 400 ml (13.5 US fl oz) cans) of coconut milk or cream (needs to be at least 17 g/100 ml (0.6 oz/3.4 US fl oz) fat)
• 1 heaped Tbsp of thickener
• 2 Tbsp raw sugar (optional, but makes it taste much nicer and helps the culture thicken the yoghurt faster)
• 1/2 sachet yoghurt culture (NOTE: 1 sachet can be used for up to 2 L (2 US qt) of coconut cream, but over culturing does not hurt)
• 1 L (1 US qt) glass jar with lid
• Small pot
• Thermometer
• Stirring spoon

Method:

1. Sterilise your jar, small pot, thermometer and spoon with boiling water.
2. Pour the coconut milk into your small pot, and mix until it is smooth and uniform.
3. Heat the coconut milk to 50-55°C (122-131°F) on medium heat while stirring constantly to avoid any scorching.
4. Mix the thickener and sugar in a cup. Pour out 1/2 cup of coconut milk from the pot, and mix into the dry ingredients. Use a fork to mix vigorously for about 30 seconds. Remember to keep checking that the liquid remaining in the pot is not scorching on the bottom of the pot during this time.
5. Immediately add this coconut milk with thickener mixture back to the saucepan and stir in well.
6. Heat the coconut milk under medium heat (up to 75°C/167°F) until the mixture has started to thicken. Transfer to your sterilised jar straight away.  
7. Cool the milk to 40°C (104°F) by putting your jar in a cold water bath in the sink and then stir in the yoghurt culture.
8. Leave in a warm place (around 35-40°C/95-104°F), and allow the yoghurt to ferment overnight for 15-20 hours.
9. In the morning check the yoghurt is slightly sour and thick. If it does not yet have a sour tang, continue to ferment for a further 5 hours before checking again. Once ready, place in the fridge until chilled.
   The yoghurt will thicken even more once chilled and will become thicker over the next few days.
10. Coconut yoghurt can be stored for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
    Coconut yoghurt can be sweetened to taste using honey, sugar or sweetener of choice. If your coconut yoghurt separates, simply stir before serving.

Chocolate Coconut Yoghurt

A chocolatey treat enjoyed anytime. We recommend using a high quality, minimally processed raw cacao powder for maximum nutritional and flavour benefits.

Method:
Follow the steps for coconut yoghurt but add 2 heaped Tbsp of raw cacao powder during Step 2 before heating the coconut milk in Step 3.

Coconut Chia Seed Pudding

A delicious coconut breakfast, dessert or snack which is very quick and easy to prepare and enjoyable any time of the day.  This also keeps for up to 2 days when sealed in a container and stored in the refrigerator.

You will need:

• 3 heaped Tbsp of whole chia seeds
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 100 ml (3.4 US fl oz) low-fat coconut milk
• 2 Tbsp homemade coconut yoghurt
• Fresh or frozen berries, sliced banana, and unsweetened desiccated coconut to serve

Method:

1. Place the chia seeds in a glass jar and top with the coconut milk, until the seeds are fully submerged.
2. Stir well and leave in the fridge overnight until the chia seeds swell and set.
3. Stir again when the seeds have absorbed the coconut milk.
4. Top up with coconut yoghurt, berries, banana, and desiccated coconut
