Coconut Milk Yogurt With Gelatin

Full GAPS coconut yogurt made with four cups rich homemade coconut milk, gelatin, a little raw honey and three tablespoons live dairy-free cashew yogurt. Culture in the Luvele at 100°F for 24 hours, then chill at least six hours. Contains cashews and animal gelatin.
Culture And Minimum Chill Per Batch 1 day 6 hours
Servings: 4 cups (about)
Course: Breakfast, Full GAPS

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups prepared rich homemade coconut milk Stir the cream into the milk before measuring; reserve 1/4 cup from this amount for blooming.
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons plain unflavored grass-fed gelatin powder Gelatin that sets when cold, not collagen peptides.
  • 2 3/8 teaspoons raw honey Measured feed for the coconut-milk culture.
  • 3 tablespoons plain live dairy-free cashew yogurt Made with a dairy-free culture suitable for reculturing at 100°F. Contains cashews.

Equipment

  • Stainless-steel saucepan and small gelatin-blooming bowl
  • Food thermometer, whisk and measuring cups/spoons
  • Luvele Pure Plus LPPYM300WUSA with matching 2-liter glass container, lid, water bath and outer cover
  • Spoon and covered glass storage container

Method
 

  1. Measure and bloom. Stir the prepared homemade coconut milk until the cream and thinner liquid are combined, then measure four cups. Reserve a quarter cup from that measure in a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the reserved cool milk, stir, and leave for three minutes to swell. Put the remaining milk in the saucepan.
  2. Dissolve the gelatin and honey. Add the bloomed gelatin and measured honey to the saucepan. Warm gently to about 115°F, whisking until the gelatin granules and honey are fully dissolved. Stir along the bottom and sides; the liquid should be evenly mixed rather than dotted with dry powder. Remove from the heat.
  3. Cool and add the starter. Let the coconut mixture cool to 100°F. Smooth the three tablespoons of prepared live cashew yogurt with a little of the cooled milk, then whisk it through the whole batch. Use starter made with a culture suitable for reculturing at this temperature.
  4. Culture in the Luvele. Pour into the matching glass container and fit its lid. Place it in the maker, add bath water outside the glass container without exceeding the marked tall line, and fit the outer cover. Select 100°F and run a 24-hour culture.
  5. Chill and combine. Refrigerate the completed batch covered for at least six hours, until cold throughout. A creamy layer and a more watery layer may set separately. Once chilled, stir or whisk them together for a more even spoonful, then serve.

Notes

Full GAPS after coconut, cashews, honey and the other ingredients are introduced. This is not an Intro Diet recipe, nut-free or vegan. Use homemade coconut milk. The starter must be dairy-free, active and suitable for reculturing at 100°F; do not assume a single-use direct-set culture can be propagated. Bloom gelatin three minutes in 1/4 cup reserved from the measured milk, warm about 115°F to dissolve, cool to 100°F before starter, culture 24 hours and chill at least six hours. The 30-hour custom interval excludes ingredient preparation, warming and cooling; no fixed total time is given. Coconut has no dairy lactose to remove. Gelatin sets on chilling, so thickness alone does not prove fermentation. Separation can occur; stir after chilling. This gelatin-thickened batch is not plain unthickened yogurt for draining. For 2× use two original-size batches, each cultured and chilled fully. Keep refrigerated covered.
