There are many people out there who cannot tolerate Dairy products not even Yogurt. My daughter also has a hard time tolerating dairy. But they do not need to stay deprived of all the yogurt goodness like probiotics and enzymes present in yogurt. I have something that is a really really tasty treat. Even we love it!
Please keep in mind it does not taste anything similar to cow's milk yogurt. Some might consider it just as a sweet treat. But I call it yogurt because it is fermented for 8 hours and hence increasing the nutritional value.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup cashew milk
- 2 cups coconut milk (I use "so delicious" brand)
- Honey
- Vanilla extract
- Unflavored Gelatin
- Soak the cashew nuts for 6 hours prior to making the milk.
- After 6 hours discard the water and rinse the nuts thoroughly.
- Put the nuts in a blender along with some water(just enough to immerse the cashews).
- Blend for 2-3 minutes till completely smooth.
- Using a spoon check if the texture is smooth or grainy If the texture feels grainy Blend again till completely smooth.
- Strain the milk using a strainer.
Process:
- In a saucepan add 1 cup cashew milk, 2 cup coconut milk and put on medium/high heat.
- Stir continuously. The cashew has a tendency to settle down at the bottom and burns easily.
- When it is warm enough whisk in 2-3 heaped Tsp Honey.(again according to your taste preference).
- Bring it to a complete boil.
- In a separate pan dissolve 1 1/2 tsp gelatin in a little boiling water and then add the liquid gelatin to the boiling milk.Make sure that the gelatin is completely dissolved in water before adding. Never add gelatin directly to the mixture. It will form lumps hence giving an uneven texture.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- After the mixture has cooled down, stir in 1/4 tsp vanilla extract.
- Add dairy free yogurt starter.
- Pour in the container you want to set it in and place in the yogurt maker setting the time to 8 hours.If you want it a little more tart you can set to 9 hours.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 5 hours before serving.
- Enjoy with fresh fruits.
A sweet treat made with love for your loved one who cannot tolerate Milk :)
Enjoy!
