Ingredients

• 2 cans (800 mL) of full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons of tapioca starch
• 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
• 2 probiotic capsules (vegan-friendly)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Directions

1. Start by sterilizing your Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water to the pot and select the 'Steam' function for 2 minutes. Once done, carefully remove the water and dry the pot.
2. In a blender, combine the coconut milk, tapioca starch, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.
3. Open the probiotic capsules and add the powder to the coconut milk mixture. Stir well to distribute the probiotics evenly.
4. Pour the mixture into sterilized jars or containers, leaving some space at the top for expansion. Secure the lids loosely.
5. Place the jars in the Instant Pot with the trivet or a steamer basket at the bottom. Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to the 'Yogurt' function for 8-12 hours, depending on desired tanginess. The longer you ferment, the tangier the yogurt will become.
6. Once the fermentation time is complete, carefully remove the jars from the Instant Pot. The yogurt should be thick and creamy. If desired, you can strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer to achieve a thicker consistency.
7. Refrigerate the yogurt for at least 4 hours to allow it to set and chill. Serve the coconut milk yogurt chilled with your favorite toppings and flavors.
