All you need is a yogurt maker, three 400 ml (13.5 oz) cans of Aroy-D coconut milk, a probiotic capsule (I use Young Living Life 9 with 17 billion active cultures), and 1 tsp cane sugar or 1 Tbsp pasteurized honey. Be choosy on the coconut milk - some are too thin or get their texture through additives. Aroy-D is nice and thick, without the junk. Good alternatives are Savoy Coconut Cream or Whole Foods 365 full fat.
NOTE: with other, thinner brands I have had to add a vegetable-based gelatin powder to the recipe in order to get the right consistency, such as Agar Agar Powder. Link for how to do that - https://bit.ly/3PGGR3B
Step#1: Put the canned coconut milk in the fridge overnight
Step #2: Scoop out the thick coconut cream (the clear liquid will save in the fridge for 2-3 days for smoothies, chia puddings, and curries or you can freeze it)
Step #3: Add contents of probiotic capsule and sweetener (it’s quite thick at this point)
Step #4: Pour into glass jars and set it as directed for your maker (makes about 4 cups of yogurt)
Step #5: When time is up, refrigerate for 6 hours - It may have a small amount of separated coconut water and appear ‘cracked’ in places–this is normal and it will get creamy when you stir it up (and trust me on the jam add-in YUM!)
