Wow just got off the phone with Euro Cuisine. They were so helpful! Yes you can do dairy free yogurt! You will need to find a recipe and follow that. If you are using dairy free milk like soy, almond or coconut you are going to have to add sugar. If you need more info just call them they are so helpful.

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.

Although I've never done so myself (because I never seem to be able to save some aside -- I want it all!!) I have read accounts somewhere of being able to do so, and because the bacilli are so potent it would make sense that it would work. I would follow the usual routine in making yogurt with a remaining sample: heat your milk to 185, allow to cool to 112-105, mix your sample in thoroughly and allow to sit or use a yogurt maker for at least 5 hours, or ideally overnight. Natren makes really good, thick, creamy, tangy, yummy yogurt!

Hi Nancy, I have not made yogurt in my dehydrator but I googled it and it seems that you can make it! You would remove some of the trays to fit the jars. You may want to contact the company that makes the dehydrator and see what advice they can give you. It is a great machine though - I have made bread and kale chips! Paula

It does not mention that this product is dairy free and I have had a reaction to it so it may not be. I've seen where other people who are severely sensitive to dairy have had problems with it as well. Best to call the manufacturer if it is important. If it were dairy free you would think they would say that on their label as it's a selling point.

I don't see any reason you couldn't use yogurt but I recommend reading the reviews about the bowls breaking. I tried three different units and all of the bowls cracked in the freezer.

Yes. I have tried their recipe for yogurt (120 degrees for 1 hr after that 18 hrs at 86 degrees). I make a gallon of yogurt using 1/2 gallon of organic whole milk and 1/2 gallon of organic half and half. My yogurt is fabulous. It is sweet and custard like, so creamy. I like Greek yogurt so I strain some to the consistency I like. I tried using less time but the yogurt came out lumpy with lots of whey. Also great for proofing bread.

I've successfully made coconut yogurt. It's a little tricky, however. It requires that you use gelatin to thicken it, as coconut milk does not contain lactose. It also requires a longer sitting time of 12-14 hours.

Although I've never tried it, I think not. The enzyme has to be dispersed evenly though out the liquid to get all the lactose, and yogurt might be too thick to evenly disperse. Yoplait makes lactose free yoghurt now, by the way.

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.

The book that comes with the ice cream maker does not have non dairy recipes. You can find a lot on the Internet but the one that come with only has 8 recipes all use dairy

If you can find a recipe for it online, I don't see why not. I use regular milk but I have friends who use it to make vegan yogurt.

I have never made yogurt, so I don't know. It works very well however for kefir.

This machine makes great non dairy yogurt. There are many recipes, but I make mine with organic unsweetened Coconut yogurt, raw local honey, probiotics, and organic unflavored gelatin. I cook for 15 hours. This turns out a thick yogurt that I then add crushed fruit to when serving. Adding fruit prior works well also, I just prefer it afterwards.

So far I used lactaid 2% and are going to try fat free milk and I have no trouble with these milks. I can't see any problem that would happen with almond milk if you use a good base yogurt as starter. I use plain greek yogurt for base. I love this machine and wish you luck

It doesn't work when you use soymilk. The yogurt needs the enzymes from cow's milk. I guess that you could try using coconut or goat's milk.

I use at free yogurt and fat free, lactose free milk to make my yogurt. It takes 11- 12 hours for my yogurt to be ready. I tried to use the top tier twice and the yogurt never firmed up. Now I use it as storage for my extra jars.
