I was thinking of using this to make sweetened condensed nondairy milk, has anyone tried this?

I did get it to froth a non-dairy product. I have used it on Soy-Milk. Sometimes it works better to warm the liquid. Good Luck!

Yes! I have made it many times. Use large shred coconut, & unsweetened. I buy it in bulk. I fill a large (6 cup canning jar) jar half full with lightly packed with coconut, and up to the 6 cup line with water. let soak over night. then in the morning I pour the mix into the machine, make sure the water is to the fill line, and run the soaked bean setting. and then strain with the provided strainer. you can sweeten if you like , add vanilla, or what ever you want. I use the coconut, or almond meal for cooking and baking after. Also, you can experiment with combos of coconut and other nuts. And the amount of nuts or coconut you use is up to you. I have had lots of success with it just playing around with raw versions, or using almond extract. Its a really great kitchen tool over all. My oldest son cant drink dairy, and the amount of money I have saved on making my own milks has more than payed for this machine. We have not made soup with it like they say you can , but I am sure that would be easy to do. Hope that helps!

I would not use it for that, it has a very eggy taste. Try almond milk, then flour, back in milk, breadcrumbs.

I have had no success with anything except 2% cow's milk. I have tried whole milk (no) and 2% plus a tiny bit of a non-dairy creamer (no). I think I even tried 1% milk, but don't remember. Never tried almond milk, which sounds delicious, so based on my experience I would say no. Maybe I will try it in the near future and then let you know. It would be interesting if it did froth. There's always the hand-held frother which works with everything!'

You may want to try this starter. It is especially made for non-dairy yogurt. http://www.culturesforhealth.com/vegan-dairy-free-yogurt-starter.htmlIt works amazingly well with the Edensoy organic Unsweetened soy milk. Open the milk box. Pour one packet of starter into the milk box. Shake. Pour into yogurt maker. Incubate. That's it.Eden Organic Soymilk, Unsweetened, 32 Ounce

I've successfully made yogurt with coconut milk in this yogurt maker. It took several tries because coconut milk doesn't thicken like cow's milk, so it was turning out watery. My husband found a recipe online that uses gelatin(4 tsp per batch) to thicken, and it turns out really well. It tastes so good that I have a hard time keeping up with the demand in my household :) Good luck!

I have tried a non-dairy creamer and it did work. Sometimes it works better to warm it first. I think the Almond Milk would work.

I tried with Almond Milk from the Fresh Market (house brand), I used the big round device and turn on the froth bottom. It created a lot of foam. I hope you get good result.

I can only speak for mixing it in a blender. This is unsweetened, so if it was added to milk you would need a sweetener. I have been trying to curb my sugar intake so I add a Tbsp of this to 3/4 c almond milk, (rice, coconut or almond/coconut milk works too) plus 1/2 banana (for sweetener) and blend with cup of ice. Its like a chocolate smoothie. Great for kids too without the added calories. Just recently started trying this recipe with the Navitas Natural pomegranate powder in place of the Cacoa. Yum! Good luck

I have been making yogurt with 2% lactose free milk- Lactaid as well as other brands and it works great- it is thick and creamy and absolutely delicious. I use plain whole milk yogurt to start- I have found two brands in my area that make the best yogurt- I did not care for Stoneyfield as a starter I do add a bit of brown sugar to the milk before I heat it as I had read that there may not be enough sugar in lactose free milk for the culture to work properly. I started out adding 1/2 tsp to five cups of milk and have gradually increased it to 2 Tbl brown sugar and 2 Tbl Splenda to five cups of milk. I prefer my yogurt a bit sweeter and really like the mellow flavor of the brown sugar, but the smaller quantity produced good yogurt. For the first time ever I can eat all the yogurt I want without paying for it! Try it- you will not regret it.

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 would not want to answer this question inaccurately. Non-fat powdered milk is often used to feed babies and children, so that has to be made to recommended potency. If it is being made for something that is far less important, then that would be your choice. However, I don't think you will be able to reach the fortification levels of non fat powdered milk by weakening it and adding malted milk powder. That is something you should communicate with the manufacturer about.

Yes, that is how I use it, plus in cooking. I find that it tends to settle to the bottom of the cup over time (I drink my coffee in a 32 ounce thermal cup) but if you drink it faster I don't think that would be a problem. I just stir it every so often and it's fine. It really isn't cheaper to buy creamer, and it has all kinds of stuff that I don't want to drink. Since it is nonfat, there really aren't any calories in that small an amount, plus you get calcium and Vitamins A and D. We don't drink milk, so the powdered works well for us all around.

I use this primarily to make homemade ranch dressing, using 2% milk as the liquid. It works great! Have never tried this with skim milk, but would assume you would have a similar outcome.

I have never made coconut milk with it but have seen video of it being done on you tube. Check out Discountjuicers on you tube.
