Home Made Soy Yogurt- Vegan MOFO Day 21

I made yogurt, yipppeee. I originally tried with a crappy plastic yogurt maker which I suspect to be quite similar to doing it in a pot and didn't work at all. But then I invested in a proper yogurt maker, I got a yolife yogurt maker which was bit more expensive but includes 7 small glass jars or you can use your own large jar. I was originally inspired by the fat fuelled vegan's post on it back in June. But given that his wasn't thick, decided to follow Bryanna Clark Grogans recipe a little more closely.

Soy Yogurt adapted very slightly and halved from Byranna's recipe here


5 cups of soymilk
1 T sugar
1/4 cup tapioca starch
3/4 t agar powder
5 Capsules of inner health plus-dairy free
need candy thermometer

1. Sterilise Jars 
2. Add sugar, tapioca starch and agar powder to soy milk. Whisk well.
3. Heat mixture over low heat while stirring. Turn off heat before milk reaches boiling point at about 176F-185F (80C).
4. Let it cool to 104F (40C) This took about about 90 minutes to 2 hours. Just keep checking regularly.
5. Empty capsules into mixture and whisk again.
6. Add to jar/s
7. Turn on yogurt maker and let is set for 9-12 hours.
8. Place lids on jars and refrigerate for 12 hours.

We let it set about 13 hours due to a slight sleep in and it was nice and tart. The texture was pretty close, although still slightly watery in parts, there was a bit of condensation on the inside of the lid which I think got in the yogurt as we removed it in the morning. We have been enjoying it by mixing in frozen blueberries and a small amount of jam. Next I will experiment with coconut yogurt and try using it in savoury dishes.

This was surprisingly easy to make but does take lots of waiting, so will be a regular weekend thing I think!
