This gut-boosting, keto-friendly coconut yogurt requires only three ingredients and minimal prep!

If you’ve cut out dairy but still want to indulge in creamy yogurt, whip up this dairy-free slow cooker version! It’s packed with two gut-healthy ingredients: gelatin and probiotics.

Making tangy and creamy yogurt at home is much easier than you may think. This recipe starts in the slow cooker, heating coconut milk until very hot before whisking in grass-fed gelatin – a skin and gut-boosting source of amino acids.

Then, the coconut yogurt cools to 100ºF before adding in the probiotics. Note: If the coconut milk is too hot, it will shock the probiotics and make them less potent. From there, you’ll let it ferment to your preferred tartness.

The Perfect Yogurt Mix-ins

This simple, three-ingredient yogurt is delicious plain but if you prefer a bit more flavor, there are many mix-in options.

• Strawberry chia jam: Combine fresh raspberries, chia seeds, and honey in a saucepan to make this jam. Get the full jam recipe here.
• Blueberry compote: This sweet fruit compote combines fresh blueberries, lemon juice, water, and maple syrup in a saucepan, thickening up when cooled. We love this simple compote recipe used for bliss bars here.
• Cacao nibs: Antioxidant-rich cacao nibs make for the perfect topping if you’re looking for something less sweet with a hint of chocolate.

Helpful Tips To Get You Started:

• Eat it all workweek. Store your yogurt in the refrigerator for up to five days.
• Sweeten the deal. For a sweeter flavor, you can add a few tablespoons of honey or maple syrup to the yogurt.
• Temperature matters. Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the coconut milk before adding in the probiotics.

Recipe by: Jennafer Ashley

This gut-boosting, keto-friendly coconut yogurt requires only three ingredients and minimal prep.

Tools

• Slow cooker
• Candy thermometer
• 32 oz. jar

Ingredients

• 4 cups coconut milk
• 2 T gelatin
• 2 t probiotic powder

Instructions

• Pour the coconut milk into the slow cooker and cover. Heat for 1 hour over low heat.
• Turn the heat off and gradually whisk in the gelatin. Allow the coconut milk to cool to 100°F, then stir in the probiotic powder.
• Cover with the lid and place the slow cooker in a warm spot for 4 to 8 hours, tasting the yogurt along the way. Let the yogurt sit at room temperature until you reach your desired tartness. The mixture will still be slightly runny at this point.
• Once the desired flavor is achieved, transfer the yogurt to a 32-ounce jar and refrigerate for 4 hours to thicken. Serve chilled with your desired toppings.
