World’s Easiest Dairy-Free Yogurt Recipe:
A Simple, Hassle-Free Dairy-Free Yogurt Recipe
Making yogurt at home can seem intimidating, especially when dairy-free options involve straining curds from whey. But after experimenting with cashews as a base, I found a no-fuss way to make delicious dairy-free yogurt! This method skips the mess and waiting time—giving you a creamy, tangy yogurt that’s naturally thick and probiotic-rich, with just a few minutes of prep time.
Health Benefits of Homemade Cashew Yogurt
- Probiotic Power: Supports gut health and improves digestion.
- Rich in Fiber: Commercial yogurts usually lack fiber, but cashew yogurt contains fiber naturally.
- Naturally Thick and Creamy: Similar in texture to Greek yogurt, perfect as a base for sauces, dressings, and marinades.
- Versatile Toppings: Add natural sweetness with fruits like pomegranate arils or cherries.
Ingredients
- 3 cups raw, unsalted cashews
- 2 cups filtered water
- 1 probiotic capsule or ¼ teaspoon probiotic powder
- Optional garnish: pomegranate arils or cherries
Note: According to our research, these are some of the Best Probiotic Capsules to use.
Instructions: How to Make Cashew Yogurt
- Prepare the Base: In a medium glass or ceramic bowl with a lid, combine the cashews and filtered water. Add the contents of the probiotic capsule or powder, discarding the capsule shell.
- Culture the Yogurt: Cover with a lid and let it sit at room temperature for 8-24 hours, depending on your preferred tanginess level.
- Blend Until Smooth: Puree the mixture in a blender until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Transfer back to the bowl, garnish with pomegranate arils or cherries, and enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to four days.
Tips for Faster Culturing
For a quicker culturing time, keep the bowl in a slightly warmer spot (around 80°F) or add a pinch more probiotic powder.
