Yogurt.....anyone?

[rawrawks]

Anyone make young coconut yogurt? I am trying it now. Any experience with it?

I've made really good coconut yogurt a few ways...

With canned coconut milk (not raw) and probiotics (Dr Michael Murray formula worked well) "cooked" in a yogurt maker overnight made yummy thick yogurt.

Raw baby coconut milk (meat and water blended) with probiotics in the dehydrator was very tasty but not thick at all. Still good in smoothies though.
I plan to try again with mature raw coconut milk soon, I'll let you know how it goes...

Canned coconut milk with kefir grains works really well too but I'm not a fan of that kefir-y taste so didn't bother trying it with raw coconuts, but I'm sure it would work well.

fyi - wild fermentation book says raw pumpkin seed milk will kefir up nicely too, so it would probably yog up well too. Read that book, it'll make you brave enough to try anything!

Kevin Gianni has a video on his website www.renegadehealth.com on making raw coconut yogurt and kiefer. Look under recipes.
