Ingredients

• 2 cans (14 oz each) full-fat coconut milk

• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
• 1 cup strawberries, chopped
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup raspberries
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. In a sterilized glass bowl, pour the coconut milk and whisk until smooth.
2. Carefully open the probiotic capsules and sprinkle the powder into the coconut milk. Discard the empty capsules.
3. Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract if using, and whisk thoroughly to combine.
4. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or cheesecloth and secure with a rubber band.
5. Let the mixture sit in a warm, dark place for 6-8 hours for the fermentation process.
6. After fermentation, stir the yogurt gently and transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
7. In individual bowls, serve chilled coconut yogurt topped with a medley of chopped strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

Helpful Tips

If you are new to making homemade yogurt, ensure that your bowl and whisk are sterilized to avoid any contamination. You can easily sterilize them by pouring boiling water over them. For added flavor, you can mix in shredded coconut or a drizzle of honey before serving. If you prefer a thicker yogurt, you can strain it using cheesecloth after the fermentation process.

Storage Instructions

Store the coconut yogurt in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. The yogurt may thicken slightly as it chills.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can substitute the fresh berries with any seasonal fruits available to you, such as mangoes, peaches, or kiwi. If you prefer, use agave syrup or honey instead of maple syrup.

Pairings

This Coconut Yogurt with Berries pairs beautifully with a warm bowl of granola or a slice of whole grain toast with avocado. For a refreshing drink, consider serving it with freshly squeezed orange juice or a homemade smoothie.
