Best coconut milk for homemade coconut yogurt

Guaranteed great homemade coconut yogurt.

Coconut yogurt is a wonderful dairy free alternative loved by vegans, paleo dieters, and foodies alike. If you have ventured into making homemade coconut yogurt, you’ve probably discovered that it’s not easy to achieve the texture of store-bought varieties. The Luvele range of yogurt makers create the perfect environment for culturing, so if your coconut yogurt hasn’t worked, chances are you’re using an unreliable brand of canned coconut milk for the job.

The Luvele test kitchen has opened many cans on the quest to find widely available brands that make consistently great yogurt. Of course, we want the taste and texture to be as good (or better) than anything you can buy.

There are so many brands available today. With coconut milk becoming a healthy choice for those looking for a dairy replacement, the canned coconut market has grown to the point of confusion. It’s essential you read the ingredients list, but we wish it were that simple. Problem is, there’re so many factors at play; the percentage of coconut pulp to water makes a big difference to the consistency, and some brands leave in a percentage of oil or contain stabilisers and gelling agents that may interfere with the yogurt culturing process.
