This coconut milk based paleo yogurt-a-like is simple, nutritious and doesn’t require either cultures OR a yogurt maker! Top it with your favorite fruit and enjoy! This is very IMPORTANT: follow the instructions on your gelatin! I used this brand of grass fed gelatin and my instructions reflect this.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Paleo yogurt:

To serve:

  • 1 1/22 cups strawberries, chopped
  • Optional, omit for AIP: crushed pistachios to garnish

Instructions

To make the yogurt:

  1. Add the gelatin to a small jug or cup, along with 3 tbl of the coconut milk. Use a fork to stir the gelatin and coconut milk mixture together. Set aside.
  2. Pour the remaining coconut milk into a saucepan and whisk in the raw honey, vanilla extract and lime juice.
  3. Turn the burner to low and add the gelatin mixture to the pan. Gently warm the coconut milk until warm, whisking until the gelatin is combined and lump free.
  4. Pour the yogurt mixture into a bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so that the gelatin sets. I usually do this before bed for yogurt in the morning!
  5. When you are ready to eat, pour it into a food processor and process until smooth. Don’t over process as this will introduce air into the mixture and the texture won’t be right!

To assemble:

  1. Spoon half of the yogurt mixture into serving dishes. Layer with the chopped strawberries.
  2. Top the dishes with the remainder of the yogurt. Garnish with extra chopped strawberries and crushed pistachios if you want to!
  3. Serve and eat immediately once blended. If the yogurt is re-refrigerated or left out too long, it will re-set again. If that happens, you will need to re-blend it.

Notes

For best results, use a food processor rather than a blender. Without additional liquid, most blenders will not be able to handle the thickness of the set “yogurt” (although please let me know if you test this out in a blender that is more powerful than my old and cheap version!).
If your kitchen is cold, the “yogurt” will reset fast, leaving you with a “set” texture. If that is the case, you can add some water to the food processor until the texture is to your liking.
If you like your yogurt more loose, use only 2 tsp of gelatin; add more if you like it firmer.
