has anyone tried using coconut milk or almond milk to make yogurt with the Euro-Cuisine machine?

i used a combination of half coconut milk with half cashew milk and it worked. note: whisked in one package of gelatin to the heated milk & 1-2T honey/coconut sugar to feed the yogurt cultures.

No, someone just asked me about soy milk as well. I haven't tried any of those. Whole milk, 2% work the best. I tried skim and it never set up after 10+ hours in the yougurt maker. The instruction manual only give recipes for regular milk with vatious milkfat contents.

Anyone have basic non dairy milk recipe's work with this machine? I would love to try coconut milk in a can, premade cashew milk or almond milk, a probiotic capsule and that's it. I have had it work in the oven with light on, incubating for 24 hours, but can't get it to work in this machine.

I made a batch with soymilk and it turned out great. I added 2 tbsp. of kuzu root powder as thickener and left it in the machine for 11 hrs. I also heard that soymilk powder works well too. Since I prefer sour yogurt, I didn't use any sweeteners.

I only make soy yoghurt and it works well but I have friends that use coconut milk. I incubate for at least 12 hours to develop enough tartness. Sometimes I leave it for as much as 24 hours and it's fine. I don't bother to boil the soy milk and I never add sweeteners or thickeners. Full fat soy milk makes the best.

If you're making it homemade, you can certainly add it to the yogurt after but I'm not sure it would work. here's a link that may help you: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/make-coconut-milk-yogurt-recipe.

I have tried it with coconut and soy milk and it curdled both times. I always had success with soy milk and Euro Cuisine starter, so I am not sure how they might be different. I used pectin as a thickener these two times, so I'm not sure if that caused a problem.

Yep. I tried it once using a recipe I had for soy yogurt. The coconut milk I used wasn't smooth so it was like having yogurt with bits of coconut in it but it was definitely yogurt. Hope that helps.

My take is you could make "coconut water" rather than coconut milk. The machine isn't an extractor - it essentially pulverizes what goes into the cup and mixes it with the (required) liquid in the tank. I've added some shredded coconut (either fresh or re-constituted - not dry) to almonds almonds for a coconut-flavored almond milk. If you're after actual coconut milk/nectar, a juice/extractor might be a better bet. But you should still check with manufacturer, as there are different grades/strengths of juicers. Also, definitely check with Soyabella's manufacturer and let us know if you can, in fact make coconut milk with it. (I'd be surprised)

I haven't been able to using coconut milk. It simply separates the water and the yogurt floats on top. Using organic goats milk it is like thick buttermilk or sour cream after you've used a bit and you mix the the separated parts. I followed the booklet to a T and its not thick, but still good.

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.

I have not tried it - but my vegetarian daughter says you can use it successfully on Almond Milk.

I have bought two cases in the last few months and was VERY disappointed in it. It was watery and no matter how long I refrigerated it, the coconut cream/fat would not separate from the water liquid. I tried blending it, too, and that just made it even worse. I wouldn't recommend it for yogurt. I would try Thai Kitchen or Native Forest brands.

I make coconut milk yogurt using my home made coconut milk. Do like you would with regular milk but add a thickener like tapioca starch. Gelatin works but I don't like what it's made of. Below is where I got my original info from.http://www.culturesforhealth.com/make-coconut-milk-yogurt-recipe

I don't know. I make dairy yoghurt with whole milk. Coconut milk would likely make a very sweet yoghurt as coconut milk is in itself very sweet but whether the starter would work (I use Bulgarian starter which is meant for dairy milk and the one that comes with the Yogotherm) and if the temperatures needed would be the same are questions I can't answer. You might investigate starter cultures before purchasing a yoghurt maker.

I tried making yogurt using soy milk once and it did not "set", it was all liquid. Now I use organic whole milk and I have great results every time!

I saw your post about the yogourmet yogurt maker. I also want one I can use with the SCD . Have you found a more suitable one yet?

~good question & good idea. i love making homemade yogurt too, but i use raw organic milk. i don't know the answer, but i suggest that you contact the distributor (address is on the can) and ask them. i'll do the same :) i do make the best homemade ice cream with fresh strawberries & the organic coconut milk.gigi

I use milk. I find whole milk works best as per making a thick creamy consistency. Sometimes I add a little half and half in too, to create that rich texture. If you leave it in the yogurt maker for 24 hours the lactose is, for the most part, removed. I don't think coconut water would provide the right texture to make yogurt, but I would experiment with adding some into the heated milk.

Yes... in the booklet that come with it (or in my case I had to request the book sent in snail mail) says you can use Soy or Almond milks also,that will be my next project to try making the yogurt with Almond and soy milks.
