Coconut Yogurt and Crème Fraîche That Work!

For a creamy coconut yogurt / crème fraîche, it is essential to observe three factors: high-quality coconut milk without stabilizers and dubious additives, appropriate probiotics, and lecithin. Follow this easy instruction, and you will get thick yogurt and creme fraiche with a heavenly taste that works!
Servings: 4

Ingredients
 
 

  • 500 ml Coconut milk 18% fat (such as Aroy D) sells in containers
  • 1 capsule Probiotics of 50 billion bacteria
  • 1 - 1½ teaspoon liquid sunflower lecithin according to the desired consistency

Equipment

  • 550 ml Jar
  • Paper Towel and a Rubber Band

Method
 

  1. Wash the jar well with water and soap and set it aside; There is no need to sterilize the jar.
  2. Shake the coconut milk container well, open it, and pour it into a blender.
  3. Add lecithin to the blender, close, and run it for about ten seconds until it is combined with the coconut milk. You will get a fluffy mixture that has slightly increased its volume (that's why you need a jar larger than 500 ml).
  4. Pour the milk into a jar; Carefully open the probiotic capsule and sprinkle its contents evenly over the coconut milk. Mix gently with a wooden or silicone spoon until most probiotics are absorbed in the milk.
  5. Cover the jar with a paper towel and fasten it with a rubber band.
  6. On warm days, place the jar at room temperature for 12-24 hours until you get the desired tangy flavor.
  7. On cold days, put the jar in an oven heated to a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius (86 F). Place the jar on the oven rack at the lowest level for 12-24 hours until you get the desired tanginess.
  8. Remove the paper towel, cover the jar with its original lid, and put it in the refrigerator; check the next day, and if a bit of liquid has accumulated at the bottom of the jar, mix it with a whisk. Repeat for about two days until you get a thick and homogeneous yogurt.
  9. After 1 - 3 days in the refrigerator, you will get a velvety and thick yogurt; Keep in mind that coconut milk yogurt thickens and hardens in the fridge over time - and turns into an excellent Creme Fraiche. However, removing the jar from the refrigerator half an hour to an hour before serving and mixing it with a whisk will restore the soft creamy texture.

Notes

  • If your oven's lowest temperature is 50 degrees Celsius (122 F), wait about fifteen minutes before putting the jar in and leaving the door open. The temperature doesn't have to be exact; just make sure your yogurt won't catch a cold :)
  • Keep the probiotics refrigerated. Pay attention to the expiry date.
