Equipment

  • Cheese cloth
  • Elastic band
  • Wooden spoon
  • Steralised jar

Ingredients

  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 vegan probiotic capsules or 1/2 tsp probiotic powder*
  • 1 heaped tsp berry powder of choice (haskap, blueberry or raspberry)

For the crumble

  • 30 g vegan margarine
  • 1 tsp golden caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp gluten-free flour
  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 10 almonds, crushed

Instructions

  • Shake the coconut milk can, open and pour into a sterilised jar or bowl. Open the probiotic capsules and empty into the yoghurt. Discard the capsule shell.
  • Using a wooden spoon mix the coconut milk and probiotic powder together. Stir in the berry powder, cover the jar with a cheesecloth, muslin or a tea towel, tie with a rubber band or a string and leave in a warm spot for 24-48 hours to activate.
  • Taste every 8 hours. The longer you leave it the tangier the yoghurt will be. If the yoghurt is tangy enough for you, place it in the fridge to halt the fermentation. Consume within 3 days.

To make the crumble

  • Preheat the oven to 200C | Gas mark 6.
  • Place the margarine, sugar, flour and oats into a bowl and rub together between your fingers until you have pea sized lumps. Stir in the chopped almonds.
  • Transfer onto a baking tray and bake in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes or until golden.

Notes

*The probiotic powder should contain some or all of the following: bifidobacterium lactis, streptococcus thermophilus, bifidobacterium bifidum, lactobacillus acidophilus.
