Ingredients
  • 2 cans Natural Value Organic Coconut Milk, 13.5-Ounce Cans
  • 2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons of Bernard Jensen Gelatin
  • ⅛ teaspoon GI ProStart
Instructions
  1. cans Natural Value Organic Coconut Milk, 13.5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) (this is an Amazon associates link*)
  2. teaspoons to 2 tablespoons of Bernard Jensen Gelatin (this is an Amazon associates link*)
  3. /8 teaspoon GI ProStart(this is an Amazon associates link*)
  4. Place coconut milk in a pan and heat until warm enough that the milk is smooth. Natural Value has no guar gum or preservatives and it is pretty clumpy straight from the can. This one that I linked to is also organic, and in a BPA-free can. I link to Amazon so you can see what kind I use, but I order from Azure Standard for a better price.
  5. In a small bowl add ½ cup of the warm coconut milk and 2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons of powdered gelatin. I linked to the brand I use, but it in capsule form. My bottle is powder, no capsules.
  6. Mix well.
  7. In a small bowl place ⅛ teaspoon yogurt starter and a teaspoon of coconut milk.
  8. Mix well. I use the back of the spoon to mash and mix as the starter clumps.
  9. Mix gelatin, yogurt starter and coconut milk together in a bowl.
  10. Separate into individual jars, or place in your quart yogurt maker.
  11. Once the mixture is heated after a few hours, I stir to make sure everything is mixed together well.
  12. Let the yogurt culture from 15 to 24 hours.
  13. Remove from the yogurt maker and stir before placing in the refrigerator. It will separate with thicker yogurt at the top and water at the bottom. Mix while it is still warm and it will hold together once refrigerated.
  14. For the super thick yogurt I blended it with my hand mixer so that it would have a creamy texture.
  15. If you use 2 teaspoons, it will be fairly thin, while with two tablespoons it will be super thick.
  16. For the photo, I garnished the super thick yogurt with Whole Foods brand 365 Everyday Value Freeze Dried Tropical Fruit Blend which contains mango, banana, strawberry and pineapple.
