How to make yogurt with plant-based milk?
We conduct tests with "standard" milk types, commonly found in supermarkets (cow, goat, and soy). Making yogurt with plant-based milk is more complex due to the lack of fat in these milks and their liquid consistency, which prevents the yogurt from setting properly. For almond or coconut milk, it is possible to make yogurt by programming 15 hours of cooking time and adding 5 teaspoons of powdered milk. Optimal setting can be achieved by adding agar agar.
