Guys ! What a negative comment section. Fermentation is obviously a mysterious process and while the 2 ingredient recipe IS simple and minimalistic, we don't all live in the same houses or areas so of course things like products and temperatures will make our results slightly different. We should be grateful to Dana for doing such an in depth troubleshooting video ❤️ My first try went well and my second one jut failed - I now know why 😊 thank you Minimalist Baker!!
I havent used this recipe yet but a way to keep your yoghurt warm while fermenting is t put it in a sterilised food thermos,
Culturing (if you use bacteria it is culturing, fermentation is with yeast) isnt a mysterious process .-. It is bacteria feeding on whatever you put it in and multiplying
@@rogercounts most GOOD kefir uses BOTH processes, has tonnes of good yeast, and also tonnes of good probiotics.
"Fermentation is obviously a mysterious process ..." Is it though? LOL Mysterious for whom? Humans have been fermenting and culturing foods for thousands of years. It's pretty well understood and documented. Here's a video that can help you understand it in 15 minutes. Best wishes. czcams.com/video/IsTVU_Zu9QE/video.html
😊
I live in a cold climate, so in winter when the house is chilly, I place my yoghurt in a cooler with a hot water bottle and a towel, close the lid and voila!
yes... a proofing box..like at any bakery, to rise dough for bread
Omg! I tried - I left inside the oven for about 48hrs and last night placed in the fridge and this morning! Ta-dah!!!! Got coconut yogurt and soooooo delicious!!!! Will be making again this week!!!
So happy you enjoyed it so much! xo
Great instruction, thank you for staying on point and not jabbering all over the place. Clear and concise. Can’t wait to make!!
Absolutely delicious!!!! I was worried at first because it was a little on the runny side after 24 hrs, but after about 6 hours in the fridge viola-thick Greek like yogurt! Thank you so much!!!!!
Woohoo! So glad you enjoyed!
Did you keep the coconut yoghurt in the freezer or fridge to thicken after leaving the coconut milk in a warm place to incubate for 8hrs?
Such a great video. Thank you for going into brand specifics and cross checking ingredients and gums etc. This is half the barrier when approaching lactose free recipes so this was a huge timesaver. Two thumbs up! 👍👍
Except the background music, the whole video was very well made! Thanks
Wow this is amazing. Thank you very much. My daughter and I can no longer eat diary. I can’t wait to make this.
This is so good. One note from a person that works production, don't keep the music on a constant loop - it gets very repetitive. Great information though!
Repetitive and annoying.
...and annoying as most most listen with earphones. Intro and outro is all that's necessary.
I disagree! Keep it coming!
Nothing is more annoying that music playing while they’re talking and it’s the same volume… music when you’re talking is supposed to be quiet the ramp up during the b roll.
Agreed. Super annoying
comprehensive and thorough presentation , thank you! Subscribed!
From Sydney Australia. Thanks for this, mate. Great video. I chill my coconut milk in the fridge overnight first and just use the firm part and it's awesome. I like your troubleshooting section, too. Good info in this footage. Thanks.
I am going to try this as soon as I can! Thank you for posting this super helpful and easy to follow video!
(my family has about a thousand allergies and so making things at home is just easier for us, so this video is a lifesaver! )
Also I love the video editing, shots and production! I thought the music was awesome and its obvious how much work went into this, looks fantastic.
Thanks again!!!
I love coconut yogurt! I also use sauerkraut brine (about 1 Tbsp) to culture it and it works well. I use plain, home-fermented sauerkraut (just cabbage and salt, no seasonings) and the yogurt is nice and tangy after a few days.
😳 🤯 do you think store-bought might work?
@@krenee984 I haven't tried it, but if it has live cultures in it from fermentation I think it would probably work.
Great tip!
Would pickle juice work?
That'll make a batch of botulism if I did that.
You are my favorite vegan blogger and I recommend you to everyone who asks about our diet. Love your simple-ingredient recipes. So yummy!
She's not a vegan tho
Thank you for this. I was looking for exactly this information about using canned coconut milk. I appreciate this so much.
My aunt always made her own yoghurt and she kept the temperature constant by using a thermos. She'd fill it with boiling water to clean it, which also raised the internal temperature. Then she'd add the warm milk and culture (from a previous yoghurt batch) before incubating. It always seemed to work for her.
The metal is generally going to mess things up large tho...as mentioned in the vid. Coconut organics with all their nuances are a bit more delicate I will take it than their semi-disgusting (due to fake vitamins and growth hormones etc and fractional whole milk recombining / pasteurization processes) modern milk equivalents!
Was it an old fashioned thermos with a glass liner???
I didn't even know that I wanted to make my own yogurt until this video popped up.
lol - truth.
Too much talking introducing coconut can juices just skip the rest n use the good type to avoid wasting time.I don't appreciate this video.
@@starrynight8007 q+q+
Aa
Sandra Hong just move on then.
Natural coffee filters make a great cover as well.
I look forward to making this kind..
never used probiotic pills before. I always used kefir grains, and had to alternate between organic raw milk for the yogurt I make for my animals and then the coconut for me.
Hmmm, I would drink the organic raw milk and eat the raw milk yogurt and give the canned coconut milk yogurt to my animals :)
@@777rogerf You have it the wrong way around :P
Wow! Awesome video! Great content! Really informative! I’ve been doing ferments of all kind and haven’t been mindful of not using metal utensils for mixing etc.... but now I will! Thanks again
Love this - especially the precision, and clear detailed steps. Thank you 🙏♥️
We're so glad it's helpful! xoxo
Wow! This is a great video! I'm definitely going to try making this yogurt.💗
Wow love it! Thank you for this recipe! Where I live is hard to find coconut yogurt, now I can make my own! Amazing!
Fabulous video! Thanks for all the tips and tricks.
Thank you! I was wondering why in some cases I failed and in other times my yogourt turned out delicious... even if I followed the same process...100% Organic... The source! Thank you! Great step by step and information!
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to make this video based on so much investigation.
Great. Very clear and easy to follow instructions. Thank you 🙂
Thanks Anna. Yeah it was confusing, but I am glad I know now. I ordered probiotic based on your video. I just hope I can pull it off. Store bought coconut yogurt has other things added and I just want pure coco yogurt. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you for sharing this very informative recipe. I so appreciate your going through all of the process and the suggestions. I learned quite a bit today! My only suggestion is to get rid of the music, I found it distracting.
Thanks. Excellent presentation with precise instructions.
Love all the details! Thanks
Excellent video, can’t wait to try it again tomorrow, awesome
This was an amazing, informative video! Thank you so much for sharing all of your great tips! I cannot wait to make this. :)
I have been making this coconut yogurt for years, works every time. Thanks for all that you do!!!
We're so glad you enjoy it! Thank you for letting us know and for your sweet words! xoxo
Great video cant wait to try this tonight.
Excellent informational how to video! Thank you!
I've been making coconut yogurt for a while - I find the brands that come from Thailand tend to have a creamier texture, while the brands from Sri Lanka tend to be more oily/grainy.
i11am have you tried yogurt starter cultures? If so which brands
@@valeriansteele Hello Lattoya - I've used both belle+bella non-dairy yogurt starter and Cultures for Health Vegan Yogurt Starter Culture (both are dairy free) and found both work very well. I also use an organic gelatin to thicken the yogurt as I use the whole can of coconut milk or cream, including the water. I do get some separation as it cools in the jars, but it's all good and I eat it as is. Good luck!
i11am thank you, can you re culture with the yogurt as with an heirloom starter? Or do you have to keep purchasing the starter?
@@valeriansteele I use the starter as I make about 4 litres at time (in instant pot).
Thank you for all the details that would make or break the recipe!! I was thinking of using prebiotics so you saved me from a failed attempt!! Thank you so much! Love this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Soooo Love your recipes !!!! Ty you for all you do!
This was informative, thanks!
Best tutorial EVER!! I would however be using real coconuts and grating it myself.i live in the west indies where it is cheaper and readily available.
Thanks for all the tips. Great video
Great video... thanks - looking forward to trying it.
Thank you so much for this great break down. I can't wait to try it.🥰🥰🥰
You're so welcome! Enjoy! 💛
Thank you for trying the different can brands for us!
Thanks, I was looking for more in depth instructions on this several months ago and this answered all my questions.
What a great video! Thank you! 🙏🏼
Great video. Thank you! Your very easy to watch and listen to. :)
I ADORE THIS RECIPE! IT'S PERFECT. Thank you!💗💗💗
I make my own jams and jellies and sterilise my jars and tools in the oven set to 225F for at least 10 minutes. For yoghurt you could do this and then just turn the oven off and leave everything in there until room temp and you are ready to use.
I thought real sterilsation takes boiling it in water for 10 minutes. Didn't know oven worked.
I suppose washing well and rinsing with boiling water should be enough for yogurt.
@@shantinaturechild6385 It worked for me, I mean the autoclave method works too just like how the doctors use em...
As a mushroom cultivator I sterilize equipment for that, but for yogurt I never sterilize anything. IMO if your yogurt contaminates it's not a strong or beneficial culture that you have. Wild lactic acid bacteria are really potent and fight of anything that will contaminate your yogurt which is what you want, and partly why you want to invest it.
@@johnsonjohnson2979 Thank you for this, I have been using poor technique lately, YET OPTIMAL ultra SUPER high grade probiotics (the very best on the market) ... so even though this batch SHOULD be PARTIALLY screwed up, we will see very shortly how accurate your words are...also the stuff I have been using in the cans from this video are pretty much garbage in a few different ways, so I will be UPPING that game so to speak accordingly as well (already bought one box to do so in fact).
Keep in mind, my words included that I use wild strains of lactic acid bacteria. 'Probiotics" are grown in a lab in the absence of competitive microorganisms so they are not necessarily strong vibrant strains of bacteria. They would not likely flourish in the wild which is why people get moldy yogurt. My wild strains will never ever get moldy even if left in the fridge for more than a year. I speak from experience. The compounds and metabolites produced by lactic acid bacteria should kill and ward off fungus, and wild strains are also very aggressive in that they will consume all the carbs so there won't be much footing for any competition to gain a foot hold.
I read another one of your posts about using a crock pot I believe it was on or in the oven to incubate your yogurt.
I posted elsewhere but I'll post it here too. What I use as an incubator is a small cooler housing the yogurt vessels in a hot water bath.
After the yogurt containers are inoculated with starter I place them in the cooler. Then I add hot tap water up to just below the top of the jars, or whatever I'm using as yogurt containers. I usually use actual yogurt containers, or mason jars.
Get the water about as hot as your own skin candle being in or a little less. 110F or so.
I seem to have the best luck when after I put the lid on the cooler I wrap it in a towel. It takes 4-5 hours and the yogurt is complete. Put it in the fridge for at least 4 more hours before eating.
Thank you for your research efforts!
I should definitely make this coconut yogurt!!! Fortunate for me we have fresh coconut milk here in Philippines. Thanks for sharing Ms Dana.
Can't wait for you to try it!
Great video! Love your channel!
Thanks so much!
Update - I followed the directions EXACTLY but made the following adjustments. I used the 365 Whole Foods Organic Coconut Cream plus 2 caps of the Renew Life probiotic. I added 1 tsp of gelatin dissolved in a little bit of hot water. Then I put the yogurt in my instant pot for 24 hours at 110 degrees. Then in the fridge for 6-8 hours and the yogurt is PERFECT. I did use the Aroy-D Coconut Cream to make a batch and it smelled like fart. So apparently which brand you use is REALLY important.
Fart. Wow.
Gelatin is made out of liquidized body parts and connective muscle tissues of poor beings....One should use agar agar instead.
@@YaamiNagvanshi_JayGopal humans have to eat living things to survive. Plants are also living things
@@t4squared 🤦♂️
@@YaamiNagvanshi_JayGopal that's the perfect answer to the fart smell, and it's kind of obvious why. 👏
People have no idea what they are eating 🤢🤮
Very informative, thanks!
Awesome tips!! Thank you. I have learnt so much about making yogurt in general, not just coconut yogurt!! Thank you for your time 👍🏽👍🏽

Genius 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻❤️ thank you for sharing this video
Great job! Thanks a lot❤️🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this 👌🏻😍
I am really excited to try this
Thank you for detailed explanation. I warmed coconut milk in little bir more than room temprature, it made much thicker yogurt. Also i used the yogurt itself for fermantation, so no need to pay for probiotic. Hope everyone enjoys the super tasty yogurt
We're so glad it turned out well! Thank you for sharing!
Very informative video thank you!
Great video, so much information, thank you
We're glad it's helpful. Thank you for sharing!
Great in-depth video, thanks for the fantastic tutorial! I just got recommended fermented coconut yogurt yesterday & it's amazing! I'd love to try making my own, & possibly blending in some nice fruits into as well, like mangos 😋
Glad to hear it was helpful! Xoxo!
Great informative video but the music volume is far too high, really difficult to focus on your words. Thanks a lot for this in any case
Great video, you went through a lot of work to get this out thank you, ordering probiotics ASAP.
Glad it was helpful!
You are amazing. Thanks for the videos and tips.
This was great, easy, and my yogurt comes out perfect. I use the oven with the light on method and it works perfectly. Thank you so much!
We're so glad to hear it, Barbara! Thank you for sharing! 💛
Love it thank you!!!
Awesome thank you!!! Cant wait to make this!!
You are so welcome! We can't wait for you to try it!
Thank you for sharing your recipes. They are the best!
Thanks a lot for putting so much thought and info into this video.
Wow! This is cool. I'm going to give this a try soon. I'm not vegan, but dairy bothers me at times, and I love yogurt. Thanks for such a great and easy-to-follow video!
Our pleasure! Enjoy ❤️
Thorough! Thank you 😊
Great video great recipes 👌😍
super !!!thanks for all the information
I am going to try your recommendations and hope that they'll make a difference. Have tried to make coconut yogurt on various occasions, but they've flopped!
Well done! Thank you.
Thank you, well presented. if you can get the freshly grated coconut and without adding water squeeze out the coconut cream in a good strong non-flannel cloth, maybe not a minimalist but the result following this video is on another level than you can get with canned coconut milk.
Thanks for this! I was going to ask. So the trick is to extract coconut milk from the meat without adding water. Got it! Thanks again.
I agree with many about the music. It is just not the relaxing kind of music, rather the frequency-type to hype you up. Otherwise, The Best instructional video on Coconut Yogurt, [out there]. Thank you so much.
While living in Cambodia, I used a non-contact (infrared) thermometer to experiment with different temperatures.
The young coconut makes by far the best yorgut
We prefer Thai Kitchen Organic Coconut milk. Always tastes clean & fresh, not like soap like so many others do.
Been trying to find it in the proper boxes, yet all they seem to have around me are the canned stuff..I may give that a whirl as I am other than a fan of some of the ones I bought so far.
I bought a used yogurt maker, people get rid of them for cheap. I also use it to make my own tempeh, it keeps the temp perfect
Hi.. Thank you for sharing this awesome coconut yoghurt.. Your explanation is very much appreciated😍.. I hope you could make a video for almond milk yoghurt and soy yoghurt.. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. Been looking for a video that addressed mold. I just tried to make soy yogurt in my instapot and had twice had pink stuff on top. I am assuming it was mold. I will check my probiotics and sterilize everything (although I thought I had second batch). Just keep trying....
You did an awesome good job on this video. I used the Thai Kitchen Organic Unsweetened Coconut Milk and it worked for me. I couldn't get the coconut milks you suggested. Mine was thick after 48 hours but it does have organic guar gum.
I looked at the Savoy coconut cream on-line and it has potassium metabisulfite (as a preservative).
Thanks so much for commenting. This is the brand that I buy in large quantity from Costco because I use it daily in my coffee and tea. I really like the flavor and consistency of it vs other brands I've tried. I'm so glad that it worked for you. I plan to try making yogurt with this kind as well. Please let me know whether you've made it multiple time and it's worked each time or any tips or tricks that you can share. Thanks again!
Since I try to stay low fat, I make tofu yogurt in my instant pot - 1 package of mori nu extra firm shelf stable tofu, 1 probiotic capsule (need at least thermophilus and acidophilus) 1/2 c or more organic Silk unsweeteened soymilk to thin, a little sugar or maple syrup to feed the probiotics, immersion blended in a sterilized mason jar (I add probiotic with a chopstick after blending tofu, soymilk, and sugar), put mason jar in Instant Pot on yogurt setting for 13.5 hours. Comes out thick and tangy like greek yogurt! Sometimes I add jam or sweetener to it afterwards, but I keep some plain for curries and smoothies. Now I can't wait to try this recipe too for a splurge!
Never had Savoy, but I do like the other two. Thanks for doing the brand comparison. Weird what happened to TJs, that's too bad because I like shopping there.
Hi, what about mixing a can of coconut milk into a batch of yoghurt that I've already made using the methods you've mentioned? Also, is it possible to use coconut milk powder for this or coconut milk that comes in tetra packs?
Great video. Thanks
Thank you for detailed information about yogurt. Reqlly helpful. But im from India and many times i tried with soy milk or peanut milk but they got fermented very badly. And as suggested by one the vegan youtuber Im using chilli tops instead of starters. Any suggestions for Indian atmosphere?
Great video..!!
congrats..
Thank you..
Regards from greece :)
Very Good video!...Thank You!
I bought the second version in your highly recommended Aryo-d coconut cream, but it was in a carton that is 33.8 oz. Will that screw it up?
Hi, I know you said using store bought coconut yogurt as a probiotic had limited success but have you tried using the last of a previous home made batch to inoculate your new batch?
The probiotics are in the watery part. So if it separates or if you strain it to make Greek style, use the liquid part to culture the next batch. Or use the liquid part to ferment vegetables. These are anaerobic bacteria, so keep all submerged below the liquid and keep air out.
Great tutorial. Thank you so much. I feel like I will want to give this a try. Side note: Aroy-d coconut milk does come in box form, same exact ingredient content, just in a box.
This. It's also probably cheaper at Asian markets than the regular grocery store. Boxed is higher quality IMO.
Appreciate any plant based yogurt recipe as I have a family history of Cancer and need to avoid all the estrogen in dairy. Thanks for posting
Nice ! Thanks
Thank for for the video. Does it matter how much coconut milk / how large the container is? I have a 3L can of coconut milk and a large 2L glass jar, so I wanted to do roughly 1.75L in the jar. Thanks!
Great video. Which is preferable, cream or milk?
