You can make yogurt with soy milk but not almond milk. I'm not sure about coconut milk

Hello, I don't see why not. I've used it for making yogurt before. Not by itself, but I have made yogurt with all dry milk and then 1 cup of cream before from a recipe and it turned out fine. Dry milk is used to make yogurt thicker, and many recipes call for adding some quantity of nonfat dry milk if you want thicker yogurt...

You need to find a specific recipe to use almond or coconut milk. I never had any luck with the yogurt thickening if I used something other than cow's milk, and I just haven't tried again lately. The cultures should work, but you have to add a lot of other things to the mix, again to thicken the yogurt.

I make almond milk yogurt fairly often using the recipe I found on lexieskitchen.com. It turns out well, but this kind of yogurt doesn't seem to keep longer than a week.

You can certainly make yogurt using the Square Rutes Dehydrator! In fact, the square/cube-shape of the unit allows for many sized jars to be used to make yogurt.

I have made yogurt in the InstantPot following their directions and it works fine. I have been very pleased with the results. Soy, almond and coconut yogurt take extra steps because of the nature of the products.

You can froth both almond milk and soy milk. Someone mentioned earlier that the Almond Breeze brand froths much better than the Silk brand.

I never tried to make almond milk but it does pulverize things to the point of almost turning onions into a liquid. A blender might be better for almond milk.

Soymilk yogurt doesn't turn out very well, as it is always very liquidy without adding some form of thickening agent, like cornstarch. This is due to the soymilk, however, and not the Insta-pot. If you're a purist like me, you may not want added thickeners. The good news is, there are lots of other good "non-dairy" recipes online for yogurt making, and it's easy to convert any recipe for the Insta-pot with all its temperature settings and programs.

No. Yogurt is a culture of edible micro-organisms that grow in a nutrient medium, which cow or soy milk is, and which water is not.

Yes. I make yogurt with Peak milk. I find it more pleasing that some other brands of powdered milk I've tried.

You may also want to check the recent thread on making yogurt using soymilk. It turns out that lactose is not essential to the process.

Despite its name, coconut milk is quite different from dairy milk. It's high in fat, but it's also cholesterol-free and rich in many nutrients. Because it's not derived from the milk of animals, coconut milk is lactose-free and can be a perfect alternative for people pursuing a lactose-free diet. SO YES! For me I can't have any dairy and coconut works great for me also Almond Milk :0)

Yes, you can make soy yogurt however, since soy is a very thin milk, you'll have to add some thickening agents to get the yogurt to the right consistency. We recommend arrowroot or agar agar powder.

I have not personally used non-fat dried milk to make yogurt, but I have seen recipes using it to make cheese so I would think it would be okay to make yogurt with. It is worth the time and effort to make it for me as I have dairy goats. I have plenty of good milk to make it with; add to that my homemade jam and you just can't buy that at the store! Really, the hardest and most time consuming part of the whole process is heating the milk.

I am sorry but I do not know if you can substitute kefir for yogurt. Perhaps Aroma can answer your question. They are quite helpful.

I have used dry mill and it was great, of course that is dairy but in process of using almond milk with honey as a sweetener. I think it will work as I substitute that for most dairy . This is amp fail yogurt maker as hv used it for severAl years. No need to heat anything with this one, its perfect everyte!
