,

I've never made nut yogurt..... so I don't know if a food processor works as

well as a blender for this particular thing. I hope someone else can answer this

one.

Nut yogurt questions

I have a couple of questions about nut yogurt:

1. I am assuming I can use a food processor instead of a blender,

please correct me if I am wrong...

2. It says to strain 1 cup of nut milk, do I strain the rest after

mixing in the probiotic? It says to spoon press out all liquids.

I think I understand the rest.

Thank you so much in advance!!

Dear ,

I do use a food processor to make our nut yogourt, however my

Kitchenaid processor has a relatively large capacity(11 cup I

think). For each recipe, I put 1 and 1/3 cups of cashews into a

large measuring cup and then add water to bring the total to 4 cups.

I do get a BIT of spillage, but I now place the processor on a tea

towel to make clean up quicker (toss the towel in the wash). The

spill I wipe off the machine during processing is small enough, that

I still think it's worthwhile to use the machine.

I usually make a double batch at a time, so I run ONE recipe through

the processor, and then strain it temporarilly into a juice pitcher,

while I process up a second recipe's worth of nut milk. Once I have

a double recipe's worth of strained nut milk, I pour one cup of the

strained milk into my yogourt container and gently mix in one scoop

of probiotics (i.e. double amount because it's double batch - I hope

I'm using the correct amount!). I then gently stir in the rest of

the strained nut milk. I'm new at this, too, but it seems to be

working. Although I often end up with the liquid separated from the

solid when I take this double batch out of the fridge, I gently stir

it back together, drip it through a sterilized cloth bag, and our

yogourt ends up firm and tart.

i have found that i can make a great nut yogurt with almond flour. i

usually make 1 cup of yogurt from 1/2 cup of flour and 1/2 of the

smaller (0.1 gm size) scoop that normally comes with the probiotics

from custom probiotics. and 1 1/2 tsp honey. no waste at all. no

straining necessary. and i typically dont stir mine. it is great. i

do use a blender but i am sharing this recipe incase you want to try

a small amount in the food processor using nut flour instead of whole

nuts.

1 1/3 cup of almonds is equivalent by weight to 2 Cups of almond

flour. so for a quart i would use 2 Cups of almond flour.

for making 1 Cup of yogurt i would use 1/3 Cup of nuts or 1/2 Cup of

flour. you dont waste as much doing a smaller batch incase it doesnt

work out.

thank you so much. Good ideas on easy clean up, and that answered a

question. I will give that a try!

Thank you!
