Coconut milk yogurt

[groundhog]

Has anyone made coconut milk yogurt?

Something I've heard rumors of, but haven't had the nerve to try it myself!

I have made coconut yoghurt. I am a vegan and prefer non-dairy ferments.

Coconut Yoghurt
1. Take young Thai coconuts, and scoop out the meat.
2. Mix the meat until it is a thick cream, adding a little water if necessary
3. For each 32 ounces of cream, mix in 1/2 tsp acidopholus. there are even vegan dairy versions of this. If you want, simply do not use mother nature naturally like other ferments and leave out the coconut cream for 12-24 hours.
4. Cover and leave out in a dark place 6 hours or longer if you want it more tart. I just do it overnight.

That will do it. You can also use a dehydrator set at 80 degrees to have more control over the temperature.

Thank you very much!

When you say young Thai coconut... is that different than the fuzzy coconuts that are commonly found in grocery stores?

Wonder if this could be made using canned coconut milk?

Google "young Thai coconut" and you'll find some pictures. Very different from the brown mature coconuts you find in most grocery stores. For young Thai coconuts, most Asian grocery stores would have them.

If you make kefir from the young coconut water, you can use that to ferment the coconut meat. Scoop out the meat of 3 - 4 young coconuts and add a few tablespoons of the coconut water kefir. Use a blender or food processor. Put it in a covered bowl and leave on the counter for about 8 hours. It's really good in smoothies and makes fabulous guacamole.
