The longer it sits, the thicker and tangier it will get. Let it ferment overnight (about 8 hours) or up to 24 hours. I always put it in the oven (OFF) with the light on. Place the glass jar in a warm spot in your home.Cover with a paper towel or cheese cloth and use a rubber band to keep it in place. I like to rinse the jar with boiling water first to make sure it’s sterile. Pour the mixture into a clean glass jar.Blend for a few more seconds so the probiotic is thoroughly mixed with the cashew milk. Open up a probiotic capsule and add the powder into the blender.Add fresh water to the blender and blend for 2 minutes on high until the cashews have completely broken down and the cashew milk gets a bit warm.Rinse a few times, drain, and throw into the blender.

#Cashew milk yogurt recipe skin
Remove from heat, transfer to a cool glass container (the microwaved container will be hot), and let cool to 110F, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.Whisk the arrowroot mixture into the main mixture and continue cooking, 3-4 minutes on the stovetop stirring constantly (be careful not to scrape up too much from the bottom of the pan beware of spatters) 1 minute in the microwave, stirring every minute.(In the microwave, this could take 6 to 7 minutes on high, stirring every 1-2 minutes.) Bring the bulk of the mixture to a gentle simmer (approx 180 degrees F).Set aside 3/4 cup of the mixture in a small bowl and mix with the arrowroot powder until smooth. Add the remaining filtered water (bringing the water total to 4 cups) and stir.Strain mixture through two layers of cheesecloth, gently squeezing on the solids, into a suitable container – 4 qt saucepan if making on the stovetop, large microwavable bowl if using the microwave. Drain and transfer nuts to a blender with 2-3 cups of the filtered water.Cover the cashews with 2 inches of boiling water.
#Cashew milk yogurt recipe update
Perusing other recipes online (and there are many!) one could try agar powder (only 1/2 tsp) or gelatin (1 tsp or more) as a thickener, but I have not tried those if I do I’ll update this post with my experiences. And actually this is more of a yogurt drink than it is very thick yogurt, but I like it that way.

This recipe uses arrowroot powder rather than cornstarch as the thickener, which I feel has a better taste. If you don’t want to soak/blend the cashews you can just buy cashew milk (or some other nondairy milk), but it’s more cost effective this way. Luckily making it from scratch is pretty simple. Grrr! There are plenty of alternative “milks” available these days (so lattes are still on the breakfast menu), but I wasn’t finding the yogurt options too appealing. So imagine my dismay when I was told some issues I was having were a result of lactose intolerance. I’m a big fan of yogurt, in recent years tending towards greek yogurt and Icelandic skyr.
