One of our favorite yogurts is made from scratch with whole cashews. Leave the nuts in for added fiber, texture and goodness. Use the same recipe with your choice of any nut or seed blend.
Homemade plant based yogurt is cost effective and easy to make although it does need an added thickener to ensure a smooth and creamy yogurt without separation. Our Culture Cupboard Plant Based Starter contains everything you need to ensure this happens, with your own choice of milk.
Ingredients
Plant Based Yogurt Starter
5 1/3 oz (150g) raw cashews
2 cups cold filtered water
Saucepan
Yogurt Maker
Thermometer
Glass Jar
Blender/stick mix
Equipment
Directions

Prepare Maker
Add cold water and blend until smooth
Pour the milk into a pan or bowl and add the big base sachet from our plant based starter pack.. Blend vigorously with a stick mixer or whisk as you heat the milk to 185°F (85°C). If using a microwave, blend thoroughly before and after heating.
Cool milk to 113°F (45°C) (5-10 minutes in a sink of cold water cools it quickly).
Add starter culture (smaller sachet) and blend it in very well before filling the prepared jar and putting the lid on

Remove and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before eating.
Eat within 7 days of making and stir in any water that separates.
