Express yogurt

Yields about 1L

Ingredients

1/2 cup raw, unsalted cashews, soaked 4-10 hours, rinsed

1 can of full fat coconut milk

2-3 tbsp. maple syrup or agave nectar

1 capsule of vegan store-bought probiotics 10 to 50 billion CFU content only (without the shell)

Cashew yogurt made with Madagascar vanilla bean

Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients for your homemade cashew yogurt above to your blender. Mix until the texture is completely smooth.

  2. Pour in a glass jar and cover with plastic wrap or an airtight cap.

  3. Let sit for 24 – 48 hours at room temperature. If you want to accelerate the fermentation process and if it's during the colder months of the year, you can store your jar in the oven (on off mode), light on, door closed. This will create a perfect incubator for your yogurt to ferment and should take about 8-12 hours.

  4. The cashew yogurt can turn out a little fizzy with a slightly tangy flavor depending on the fermentation time.

  5. Once you are satisfied with the taste of your homemade cashew yogurt, you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and refrigerate in an airtight container.

Once refrigerated, your homemade vegan cashew yogurt will gain more thickness and keep for several weeks.
