How to make Coconut Yoghurt

FigsCoconutYoghurt_web


This dairy-free yoghurt is very easy and cost-effective to make at home, as long as you are prepared to open the coconuts. You’ll need young fresh green coconuts, that have soft fresh flesh and water inside.

The mature round brown coconuts are not suitable as the flesh within is hard and they usually contain only small amounts of water, if any.

Description

Serving suggestion:
Coconut yoghurt with fresh figs
4 fresh ripe figs, trimmed and cut into quarters
2 tablespoons coconut yoghurt


Ingredients

Units Scale
