I can only find coconut milk in the carton in local grocery store - there appears to be nothing in the baking goods aisle or the Asian/ethnic foods aisle. The grocer does stock two flavored that are sweetened and one original which does not appear to have a sweetener added. Would the "for drinking" milk in the carton work in place of "whole" or canned and unseparated? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/coconut-milk-or-almond-milk-yogurt-recipes#post-248 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 16:16:05 +0000 psixichka 248@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>has anyone come up with anything else?<br /> what about using chia seeds? or the gel they produce?<br /> i just ordered some<br /> tia! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/rainbow-cookies#post-229 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:20:44 +0000 elanalauren 229@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Around Passover time, you can find Rainbow cookies that are Kosher-for-Passover and Gluten Free and Dairy Free.

We had to axe out honey (caused overwhelming growth of yeast), so now I'm only able to use stevia or xylitol. One of my bright ideas was making homemade coconut yogurt. I bought the outrageously expensive GIProstart, a yogurt maker and a bunch of sulfite free coconut. When I realized that the coconut milk needed sweetener to feed the bacteria I let out a heavy sigh. </p> <p>I decided to try something different. I blended some frozen blueberries and hoped the bacterias would feed off of that. I even added some gelatin to give it some "body". End result was like a yogurt smoothie (Yo-Baby brand) I used to get for my son. Its quite tart (I added a few drops of stevia) and strained it thru a nut milk bag to get all the blueberry skins out. I had actually taken some of the "yogurt" and froze it in my ice cream maker. It was quite slushy, but not bad. I'm thinking of using more gelatin the next time around. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/coconut-milk-or-almond-milk-yogurt-recipes#post-206 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:00:16 +0000 Ruth 206@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>ps I had already done this research; I'm just happy to know<br /> that the time I spent is beneficial to others as well!! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/coconut-milk-or-almond-milk-yogurt-recipes#post-205 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 11:59:10 +0000 Ruth 205@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Further update on the coconut milk yogurt saga:<br /> I use Natural Value Natural Coconut Milk<br /> which has only coconut and water, no guar gum.<br /> (I don't like additives.) It's *very* thick.<br /> I made the yogurt as directed above but I tried<br /> it without the pectin altogether (the pectin got<br /> lumpy on my 2nd batch) and it was DELICIOUS without<br /> the pectin, and very thick. Not as thick as milk-yogurt,<br /> but much thicker than I was expecting. I recommend<br /> the Natural Value Natural Coconut Milk (I found it<br /> at Whole Foods, but a friend in a different city<br /> could not find it at Whole Foods), the directions above,<br /> giprohealth starter, and NO pectin. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/coconut-milk-or-almond-milk-yogurt-recipes#post-204 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 10:27:06 +0000 Theresa Watson 204@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Thank you all so much for your help -- really appreciate you all taking the time to do some research for me!!</p> <p>Isn't this site just wonderful -- Thank you Elana for giving us all a place to exchange ideas and recipes and information.</p> <p>Theresa Watson </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/coconut-milk-or-almond-milk-yogurt-recipes#post-196 Sat, 28 Feb 2009 10:00:37 +0000 Ruth 196@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Here's the other starter I located:<br /> <a href="http://www.customprobiotics.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.customprobiotics.com/</a></p> <p>But when I called to confirm that it was, indeed, dairy and soy free,<br /> the guy changed the topic and tried to hook me on *his* probiotics and said<br /> probiotics would cure my allergies.
