Has anyone tried to make yogurt with coconut or almond milk? If so, how does it turn out?

What is the recommended brand of starter yogurt that gives out the best results ?

I do it all the time. use a thickener (like corn or tapioca starch) and a packet of unflavored gelatin when heating the almond/soy/blended milk to control thickness. I use more starter-- either double the powder or use powder and a storebought yogurt of same base. Honey for sweetener to bump up the cultures. experiment!

Instructions are included for making non-dairy yogurts. I have not tried it though. I did have good results with sour cream.

I can't think of any reason it would not work just as well. I have not tried it but I use mostly skimmed milk and it is fine.

Yes, I use this yogurt maker to make thick Greek-style coconut milk yogurt all the time. You can find my simple recipe here: http://thenourishinghome.com/2014/03/make-greek-style-yogurt-no-straining-required/ I hope this helps. Blessings, Kelly

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 never made almond milk, but I bet it would work well. Makes amazing hummus.

I have used dry mill and it was great, of course that is dairy but in process of using almond milk with honey as a sweetener. I think it will work as I substitute that for most dairy . This is amp fail yogurt maker as hv used it for severAl years. No need to heat anything with this one, its perfect everyte!

My take is you could make "coconut water" rather than coconut milk. The machine isn't an extractor - it essentially pulverizes what goes into the cup and mixes it with the (required) liquid in the tank. I've added some shredded coconut (either fresh or re-constituted - not dry) to almonds almonds for a coconut-flavored almond milk. If you're after actual coconut milk/nectar, a juice/extractor might be a better bet. But you should still check with manufacturer, as there are different grades/strengths of juicers. Also, definitely check with Soyabella's manufacturer and let us know if you can, in fact make coconut milk with it. (I'd be surprised)

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.

I don't use eggs with my ice cream. Unfortunately I have not used soy or almond milk. I have used heavy whipping cream, and I want to try original greek yogurt, or the vanilla. It could be interesting.

You can make yogurt with soy milk but not almond milk. I'm not sure about coconut milk

I am aware of any recipe other than what is on the package. However, I did use substitutes for yogurt, like coconut milk and plain water. I will try using pumpkin, you can't go wrong because the chocolate flavor dominates. The texture may vary but it is still delicious.

I have been making a half recipe for yogurt made with coconut milk. I use two cans of coconut milk instead of 4 and it comes out fine.

Yep. I tried it once using a recipe I had for soy yogurt. The coconut milk I used wasn't smooth so it was like having yogurt with bits of coconut in it but it was definitely yogurt. Hope that helps.

No! You can make an almond milk yogurt, but you must use almonds that have been grounded up and soaked. Store bought "almond milk" has other ingredients in it.

The yogurt maker comes with two different culture starters, which require different temperatures when they are introduced to the milk (thermometer is included), but presumably the same incubation temperature. I imagine you could also make non-dairy yogurts as well, using soy or coconut milk, though I've never tried it.

I used unsweetened coconut milk and it seemed to work well. It did turn out a bit grainy so I'm not sure what I did to cause that to happen.

Well, I threw in 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries, 3 frozen strawberries and a handful of spinach. I didn't have any almond milk, so I added about a cup of water and 1/4 cup of almonds and blended it to oblivion. :) I thought it was delicious. Maybe the "almond milk" helped. I have put a little scoop of plain yogurt in sometimes, too. I have also done it with a couple of oranges and some ice (instead of OJ) and that worked great, too. I usually throw in some greens and can't even taste them. :)

I am using the chocolate and I mix it with regular flavor almond milk. I have mixed it with skim milk also but think the almond milk is healthier and also enhances the flavor. Good luck. I also have used the Yoli chocolate and find it even better tasting.

I mix it with coconut milk and berries. I think it tastes pretty good, but I haven't tried other combinations.
