Ingredients
- 1 can Full Fat Coconut Milk
- 2 capsules NOW Probiotic-10
- 1/2 tsp. NOW Xanthan Gum (1/4 tsp. split between both jars)
- 2/3 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- Toppings of Your Choice
Instructions
- Open a can of coconut milk and stir it well. You want to make sure the cream and water in the can is thoroughly mixed.
- Put the coconut milk into whatever container you’d like. I seperated mine into 2 200mL mason jars. Have your NOW Probiotic-10 handy.
- Break the capsules into the coconut milk. If you are using 2 jars, use 1 capsule per jar. If you are using 1 jar, use 2 capsules. Stir the mixture together well and place the lids on the jar.
- Turn your oven light on and place the jars in the oven. Close the oven door, keeping the light on, and let it sit for 12-24 hours overnight. The longer the bacteria can culture, the thicker the mixture will get, but it doesn’t make too big of a difference.
- Empty all of your yogurt into a mixing bowl and sprinkle 1/2 tsp. Xanthan gum over it. Using a hand mixer, mix this well.
- In a separate bowl, whip up 2/3 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. You want this to be solid cream almost.
- Dump the solid cream into the yogurt and mix on a low speed until the consistency you want is achieved.
- Add toppings, flavorings, or fillings of your choice and enjoy!
