Failproof Plant Based Yogurt

Failproof Plant Based Yogurt

By: The Jaroudi Family

 

Ingredients:

1 (14 oz) package tofu, drained (Extra firm, firm, or silken)* (397 g)

1 cup water

2 Tbsp date paste

2 capsules vegan probiotic (powder only)

 

Directions:

1.    In a high-speed blender, combine the firm tofu, water, date paste, and the powder of the two vegan probiotic capsules. Blend very well until completely smooth and creamy.

 

Instant Pot: Pour the blended mixture into a sterilized steel inner cooking pot and seal the Instant Pot. Hit the yogurt button and set for 12-14 hours. Do not check on the yogurt during this time. Let the yogurt cool and refrigerate in a container with a lid.

 

Without an Instant Pot: Fill an insulated cooler with enough warm water between 100-110 degrees to cover the yogurt mixture jars. Keep the jars with the blended yogurt mixture inside the insulated cooler for 12-14 hours. Let the yogurt cool and refrigerate, sealing it with a lid.

 

Notes:

The extra firm will be more Greek-style thick yogurt – silken will be thinner.

12 hours will be a milder yogurt. 14 hours will give the yogurt more of a tangy flavor.

Vegan probiotics work best with over 25 billion probiotics.
