I've been making my own yoghurt for some time now- I take it to work with homemade maple granola and apple/berry purée as a sweetener. I ferment mine anywhere between 35-45C (in a water bath) as that's when the bacteria are most active (according to McGee's encyclopaedia of kitchen science, history and culture). You can go lower but it does take longer though you do tend to get a firmer product. If you're in a cold climate you could gently warm the coconut milk and add the bacteria (like with bread baking and yeast) and keep it in a warm place in a jar. If you do also heat it you can incorporate aromatics like vanilla, chai tea or any myriad of spices/flavours- cinnamon with coconut would be rad. If you want thicker yoghurt I'd recommend straining it with cheesecloth- the "whey" is also the sour part- so if you're after a thicker, sweeter yoghurt do this. Also it would be really sweet to try labneh with this- strain and make into balls and marinate in flavoured olive oil. I've seen non-dairy yoghurt work with soy milk, but would be interested to know whether it could possible work with nut milks given their lower fat content. If you're patient you could always make your own bacteria culture- Peaceful Cuisine has made one with brown rice that's worth checking out on KZfaq :)

Just tried this and it came out so tasty! I didn't have any tapioca, so I used maizestarch instead and added a couple of tablespoons of store bought soy yoghurt as the culture and let ferment for about 24 hours. Coconutty and lovely, good job you guys!

And they ask me "Isn't it hard being vegan in Ireland?" Well no, not at all because we have The Happy Pear and them gorgeous boys :) Thank you for this recipe! I miss yogurt's acidity and little bit of tangy feel so I'm going to give this a go :)

Thanks for all the different options to make coconut yogurt!

Guys, I'm brazilian and it's really easy to find tapioca, however I like to use agar-agar to make it thicker. It gives the yogurt a great texture (not jelly), and I think it may be easy to find in Irland, and Europe in general. Well, I make the coconut milk from the fruit here, I don't if it change something, but it's an ideia! Only a table spoon for a liter is enough. Thank you guys for your videos, and all your work! You're a great inspiration for me! :D

love your videos! but why do you guys always interrupt each other?

I do this a lot but when I use young coconuts, it doesn't need any starch and it gets thick. Although the consistency is weirder than using the mature coconuts. I did make it from canned lately, at first I thought it would fail because it was sooo watery (I live in a country that is summer 80-90% of the time and rainy the rest) but once in the fridge, it become so thick. A lot like Greek yogurt! But the water did separate (I use this to add to my sourdough starter).

love you guys videos!! Always fun and informative

OMG!I'm so proud!I'm from Fortaleza-Brasil and we have all kinds of tapioca flour around here in our sunny weather.but I never saw coconut milk inside a can😅 what a wonderful world!you have a piece of my land, my marvelous beaches inside your house!!

So glad to see a recipe for this using something other than raw Thai coconuts. I don't have those around here. Thanks!!

How simple is that, what a great positive video, will try this as soon as I can, cheers. B

Muchos interruptus!!! 😂 I can't decide if it's funny or annoying!

I love that this recipe is cultured! I hate having to sift through brands of non-dairy yogurt at the store to find ones with active cultures. Can't wait to make my own! Thanks.

LOL! at in Ireland everywhere is like a fridge this time of year haha! it certainly feels like it the past few days :-)))) I will look out for the coconut milk with the higher fat content in future instead of the lower fat ones that I normally buy, the bacteria probiotic is a real tonguetwister to pronounce haha! thanks a million for sharing Dave, Steve and Fiona too and sending you guys tons of love and heaps of happiness and Plant Power from Waterford to Greystones for a MAGICAL evening XXXXX

Aww I just love you guys. I was so pleased when I saw your videos , vegan coconut yogurt. Thank you for this one. 🍒👍🍉💜

hey, thank you for all the great recipes! So I made this, the 1st version, in 19 hours, started to be very sour which is fine, but it is so watery. I put just the cream from the coconut milk, no liquid at all because I wanted it thick. Any ideas what I did wrong? maybe the quality of my coconut milk?

Thanks so much for this recipe!! Made making coconut yoghurt look much easier than I thought 😍💃

Thanks so much. Better than store bought.

I've been wanting to make my own yogurt for a long time.. Seems pretty simple. Thanks

Is there any way to make this yoghurt continuously using the culture? as with kombucha. or do you need to do it fresh each time? thanks!

very cool! once fermented, how long does it last in the fridge?

This is brilliant. Wednesday of this week, I purchased a 4 oz. container of coconut yogurt for $4, usd. So you two have created the simplest recipe which I intend to replicate this weekend, thanks.

I love you guys, thanks for this!!

hey guys. made the coconut yogart, 2nd option with tapioca ....it is very watery. I followed the recipe...wondering if I have any suggestions.

Hi there, can I ask what coconut milk did you use? I am struggling to buy in the UK the one which is working well...

Love the Video You Two are a Kick. I can't wait to try this... Thanks Guys

I like your videos 'cuz you can tell that you're having fun in the process. Makes my day!

Thanks guys you went into all the options.

After you have made it the first time can you use some of it for a "starter" for your next batch?

Amazing video 👍 Where can I find the complete ingredient list for making this yoghurt?

I would like to make firm and is it better if to put the mixture in the fridge immediately after mixing the coconut with fermentation bacteria? Thank you

I have a yogurt maker that I used back when I used to eat dairy. Can I use this for my coconut yogurt ?

could I substitute the tapioca starch for arrowroot powder or cornstarch? I have been needing to purchase tapioca flour/starch!!!

Hey. Do you know how to make the yoghurt more characteristic of cows milk? Less coconutty and more creamy and neutral.

Hi there! I live in Asia,can I use freshly bought coconut milk for this recipe?

they should have a talking spoon, where only one can talk while holding it

hello there missed you guys wow love this definitely making this for my family thanks so much how's you kids 😊

I've been making Greek yogurt for yrs but have never made coconut yogurt. I usually add flavourful extracts and a little of the real thing. So Flippin yummy.

Does the yogart continue to culture after the 24 hours as long as you keep it. Meaning what if I don't want to eat it all in one sitting? I wouldn't want it to turn into pure acid the longer it stays in the fridge.

i'm so buying your cookbooks, the food you guys make is friggin delicious. i recently came across this channel, i was hooked from the first video i watched! if i lived in the south, i'd be at your cafe every bloody day.

love you guys all this lovely scientific names mind bugling keep it up

You might have mentioned it, but once it is made how should it be stored? Should it be eaten shortly after or can you store it in the fridge? xxx

adding a spoon of live active culture from diary yogurt might work too right?

Can I add a liquid sweetener to the yogurt? Or should I top it with it after it has fermented?

How long can you store it for and will it continue to get more acidic in flavor after the 24 hours?

I made this and the tapicoa just formed lumps in the coconut milk even though I made the paste first. I had to sieve it twice to try and save it ! What did I do wrong?

Yo Duuuudes. Great vid lads! I have a question... Could I start my Yogurt ferment with a little bit of my sourdough starter? Or at least just the liquid on top of my starter where it separates? As in, would it be the same type of bacteria? Cheers

Great video! Love coconut yogurt..

Can I use arrowroot powder instead of tapioca? Thanks guys! Love the chemistry between the two of you!

Can we store it after 24h? in the fridge for a couple of days? or does it need to be consumed right then?

Something very similar to coconut yohurt, I am making coconut kefir. You need the kefir grains. It's delicious...

tip for you lads, open the coconut milk can upside down and drain of the water and your left with the cream. easier than going at it with a spoon.

hey guys this looks great. 2 questions. how long will it stay good for? how would you go about creating enough yogurt for the week or a few days?

So excited to be able to eat yogurt again!! :D I've tried making it a couple of times and before I leave it to ferment it's nice and thick but when I come back after about 16 hours it has the acidic taste of yogurt but it's gone back to being very liquid again, almost like a Yop drink! I live in Vietnam so it's very warm so I have been just leaving it in a plastic container in the kitchen. Any tips? Please :) And thanks so much for all the inspirational videos!

I made this last night. It's fantastic, easy, and my daughter loves it. I love your videos, guys. Keep up the awesome recipes. :)

very helpful, thank you.

One question about your sourdough bread. Do you leave your sourdough culture out on the counter or refrigerator.

Can't wait to try this - Is there a way of adding calcium to it though?

Thank you!!

Can you also use rejuvelac?

Love you crazy guys, you always cheer me up, love your creations too. Just a thought guys can I put it overnight in the oven with the light on, that how I used to make my dairy yoghurt and now when I make soy yoghurt? 💚

In Palawan Philippines now. Will try using fresh coconuts, squeezed and go on w your recipe. The interruptions and the noisy chats kept it lively and not boring at all. Great video❤️

On boiling coconut milk, its oil separates. What to do?

Great video gents! Thank you

Can I use corn starch ?

much needed recipe.😍

Hey lads! Grand videos! Question. I see you make coconut yogurt with coconut milk full fat, but have you tried making yogurts from milk? Almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk? I tried with soy milk that had only two ingredients: water and soy, same “fancy-name” probiotics and in two days I had soy yogurt. You think it’s realistic making my own almond milk and then making almond yogurt? Now i doubt I will find peace until I make damn thing. Thanks for inspiration!

Do I need to keep it covered while it ferments ?

hi guys! I love your videos!!! would arrowroot work for this recepy?

Can u use corn starch instead of tapioca?

Nice twins and easy rcp and thanks for share.

I love these two lovelies ...

I've been looking for Fiona's link on Instagram to read more about fermentation but I just don't seem to be able to find her. Can anyone help? I'm wondering if the boys have put on the wrong link for Fiona.

Can I Take Some tablespoons of a selfmade coconut yoghurt to make a New one as Mother culture ? Or must I buy one in a Shop? (Sorry for my English I am German)

How long can we keep the coconut yogourt in the fridge ?

Thank you 😋👍

cool! I didn't know that I can make coconut yogurt with canned coconut milk!! that's really convenient since I can't find young coconuts where I live! thanks a lot! ❤❤👌

Loved your video. I was so focused that I did not even realize you were twins until the end...LOL.😂

omg thank you guys for the recipe! plant yogurts here are expensive as heck! looking forward to trying the recipe out. could you write down what the probiotics were? hehe seemed like a mouthful. thanks so much!! huge fan of you guys ♡

Can I used agar agar instead of tapioca? Would it work?

Open can from bottom dudes🤔😉 I'm in NZ watching you boys makes my ❤️ smile. Probiotic with mother culture works. If you don't have even temp, leave in oven with light on...but don't forget. I always cover mine. Hugs to Fiona the fermenter & you fellas

I didnt see that you added any sugar?! I was always told the probiotics have to have that for them to feed on. Did I miss it?

Can you do one about vegan caramel using coconut milk

Just wondering if you think I could use arrowroot flour instead of the tapioca flour? Would it make a difference?

Can you use soy yogurt as the culture instead of coconut yogurt?

I'm all over your book ...we're is it available? Amazon?

Thanks lads, will def try this! What's the name of the probiotics? I couldn't find it online.Can u maybe add a link to the infobox? Cheers

Should I add the maple syrup after the 24 hours ?

I was wondering the same thing as a previous commenter, whether or not the yoghurt you make can be used as a mother culture later or if one has to start fresh with probiotics or bought yoghurt each time? Thanks in advance. :)

Can you use corn starch if you don't have tapioca?

doesnt tapioca starch come from the Cassava plant/tuber?

Great video! Can you use lemon juice or Water kefir instead of probiotic pills?😊

IN Canada these ingredients are available at BUlk Barn, tapioca is with the group of gluten free flours and starches.

Brilliant! 😘

How long will this keep in the fridge?

Beautiful

Does 'lacto' mean there is milk protein in the yogurt?

Can you use coconut cream?

Can we use another type of flour? maybe Corn starch?

Can I use a dairy yogurt as a starter?
