This homemade vegan yogurt recipe is perfect for those looking for a dairy-free alternative. Made with just a few simple ingredients, this creamy and delicious yogurt is great for breakfast, snacks, or even as a dessert. It's easy to make and customizable to suit your taste preferences.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon of agar agar powder
  • 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon of vegan yogurt starter or probiotic capsules

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until it reaches about 110°F.
  2. Add the agar agar powder to the coconut milk and whisk until completely dissolved.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the maple syrup or agave nectar.
  4. Let the mixture cool to around 105°F before adding the vegan yogurt starter or probiotic capsules. Mix well.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a clean glass container and cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
  6. Place the container in a warm spot, such as an oven with the light on, for 8-12 hours to allow the yogurt to ferment.
  7. Once the yogurt has thickened, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  8. Enjoy your homemade vegan yogurt with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, granola, or nuts.

Interesting Facts

  • Agar agar powder is a vegan alternative to gelatin and helps thicken the yogurt.
  • Allowing the yogurt to ferment in a warm spot helps the probiotics thrive and develop the yogurt's tangy flavor.
  • Store-bought vegan yogurt can be expensive, making this homemade version a cost-effective option.
