Need Help- First Attempt at Raw Yogurt

[Veg4Life]

I found this cashew yogurt recipe in one of veg books and I can't tell if it's ready. The directions were to blend 1 cup of raw cashews with 1 cup of water until it was a heavy cream consistency. Then pour into a quart glass jar and cover with a towel and leave at a least 70 degrees for 20 hours.

Well it's been about 30 hours and big bubbles have formed at the top and it smells like yeast. The recipe book said to wait until the curd forms (which I'm assuming is the yeasty bubble type stuff-looks like cottage cheese) and a layer of whey (liquid) is at the bottom. Well, the curds are here, but no liquid at the bottom.

Should I try it?? I'm going to blend in some honey and fruit for sure, but I didn't want to do it prematurely if I'm really supposed to wait for a layer of whey at the bottom. It's been a little cold here so maybe it will just take longer??

I dunno b sounds like it should be ready. I have a high success rate with just leaving the yogurt on top of my fridge overnight, it can bubble/ get a cakey-looking layer at the top but I've never observed liquid at the bottom.

Hmmmm... the way I make yogurt is pretty much just to blend the cashews and water in Vita-Mix to creamy texture along with adding any fruit that I may want for the flavor. I just eat it right there on the spot and it taste like yogurt. That works for me. :cool:

I'd call it Done!
