In reply to Lisa MarcAurele. Hi Lisa! I'm anxious to try this for my DIL who is mildly lactose intolerant. Up until recently we were able to get raw milk from a local dairy, but he sadly had to sell off his dairy herd and she was actually able to have some of that milk as well as the yogurt from it so she is disappointed. My question is… unlike dairy yogurt, do we have to add the probiotic capsules for each batch? Are we unable to use yogurt from the previous batch as starter? Thank you so much for all of your wonderful recipes!

Thank you for the great recipe! I've tried different ones and were disappointed. Didn't like the texture with gelatin, so was excited to find this recipe that has it optional. Especially with Trader Joe's coconut cream (which also costs less!) and letting it cook for 18 hours, it has the thickness I want. I started with the brand recommended here and it didn't come out as thick. Have now made this multiple times and so happy. Thanks again!

I use this recipe weekly! I found it works best using the same coconut cream you mentioned, but I use a different probiotic I already had on hand. Make my smoothies 10/10!

Question, do you have any recipes or ideas of how to use the whey other than simply discarding (which is what I’ve been doing thus far)?

Thanks!

In reply to Lisa MarcAurele. Are you using a particular probiotic organism?? There are so many out there

In reply to Chandrs. You can definitely adjust the gelatin amount as needed to make it less firm. It's not essential but I found it helps give it a better texture and prevents it from being too soft.

I wanted to like this more than I did. The gelatin I think gave it a very gelatinous texture I didn't like. It set up too much. I wonder if I could try it with just a tsp of gelatin to give it some substance?

In reply to Rian. It's the probiotic bacteria that consumes the sugars to make yogurt. Prebiotics are fiber that can generate probiotics and I'm not sure if they have any impact on the yogurt as I've never used them.

I am super excited to try this recipe! How would using a probiotic powder with prebiotics affect the result of the yogurt? Many posts say no prebiotics but don't say why.

In reply to cindy. There's natural sugar in coconut milk to feed the culture.

Other sites say maple syrup is a must to feed the culture so what feeds the culture in this recipe? I'm sugar free so I'm hoping this recipe works.
