Here’s how to make your own coconut yogurt at home. You’ll need about 2 whole days including rest time, so be sure to plan ahead when making this.

What You’ll Need

  • Good quality coconut cream, ideally coming from a carton, not a can (1-2 cups)
  • store-bought coconut yogurt (1 heaped tablespoon), or 1/8th of a teaspoon of vegan powdered yogurt culture
  • 1 vegan prebiotic capsule

How to Make Your Homemade Coconut Yogurt

Step one: prepare your coconut cream

Pour some good quality coconut cream into a jar, removing any excess liquid from the carton (anywhere between 1-2 cups)

Step two: add store-bought coconut yogurt and a prebiotic capsule

Add a heaped tbsp of good quality store bought coconut yogurt and for maximum bacterial diversity, a prebiotic capsule.

Step three: bring it all together

Whisk together, then pop into a yogurt maker, or something else that can hold temperature like a thermos (see notes).

Step four: let it rest 

Pour boiling water down the side, pop the lid on and leave for 24 hours.

Step five: repeat

The next day remove the water and pour hot water down again and leave for a further half a day.

Step six: let the yogurt set in the fridge

After this time, pop it in the fridge over night to set.

Recipe Notes

  • If you have a yogurt maker thatโ€™s ideal. Alternatively, wrap it in a tea bowl and leave somewhere warm, or leave it in a cast iron pot of hot water, and top up the hot water every few hours. You can also use a thermos if you have one that’s big enough to hold the jar.
