One request I had recently was to share a recipe on how to make vegan yogurt. We take it for granted here in major cities but it’s not readily available everywhere and also, it’s so easy and so much healthier to make at home. So I’m sharing my vegan soy yogurt recipe with you now!
I’ve chosen Silk soy as my base not only because it’s fab but it’s also easily available nationwide at many local grocers. Join millions of Americans in raising your glass to this fabulous dairy milk alternative! Silk is a great choice for cooking, baking and drinking for a protein packed beverage and my friends at Silk Soy Milk are rockin’ it!
Still not convinced? No other dairy-free milk brand gives you more protein! With 8 grams of heart-healthy, plant-powered protein and a smooth delicious taste, Silk Original Soymilk gives you plenty to love. And because Silk is plant-based, it’s naturally low in saturated fat and has no cholesterol! Switching to Silk is an easy, delicious way to start adding more plants to your diet. And like the plants Silk is made from, when your body gets everything it needs to be healthy, it blooms.
And, as mentioned, it’s awesome for making homemade vegan soy yogurt!
Vegan Soy Yogurt
- 32 ounces Silk Vanilla Soy Milk (sweetened or unsweetened, per your desired taste)
- 1-2 teaspoon agar powder or flakes (depends on the consistency you want, more for a more pudding like consistency)
- 1 vanilla bean (split and beans scraped out of the pod) or vanilla powder
- 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice
- 1 packet of vegan yogurt starter/culture
Pour soy milk into a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil.
Add agar and return to boil, whisk for 2-3 minutes, and remove from heat.
Add in vanilla bean and sweetener and mix well. Finish with a hand-held mixer or a quick puree in the blender.
Allow mixture to cool for about 1 hour. Be sure not to add the culture when it’s too hot, it will die. If you are using a thermometer, it needs to be between 90-115 degrees. If you are using your finger, consider that a delightfully hot bath is somewhere between 100 and 105 degrees. If it feels hot to your finger, but not hot enough to need to pull your finger out, it’s perfect.
Add culture packet and mix well. Divide into jars or desired container as needed and place in a pan to keep them stable in the oven. Do not put the lids on the jars.
Put the pan with the jars in a 90-110 degree oven. Cover jars or containers with a towel, turn on oven light and allow 7-9 hours for the yogurt to “cook”.
Store in refrigerator in an air-tight container. It will firm up even more as it cools.
Enjoy plain or with fruit!
