Making Dairy-Free Mango Yogurt at Home

It’s not complicated to make mango yogurt at home! However, the process is different from homemade traditional dairy yogurt.

To make thick and creamy dairy-free yogurt, you should start with ingredients that are already naturally thick before you incubate the yogurt. That’s why cashews and coconut cream make the best dairy-free yogurt base.

Dairy-Free Mango Coconut Yogurt

Mango Yogurt Fermentaiton

Various probiotic bacteria play essential roles in the production of yogurt. Most often, species of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Streptococcus are the microbes we find in yogurt.

Specific types of yogurt, such as Greek and Belgian, are distinguished by the species of bacteria used to culture milk into yogurt.

In animal-sourced milk, the bacteria can use lactose for energy. This produces a byproduct of lactic acid. Lactic acid builds up in the milk causing the coagulation of milk proteins. This is what transforms the milk into a semi-solid known as yogurt.

Lactic acid fermentation is not the same in dairy-free/vegan yogurt. Plant-sourced milk, for instance, does not contain lactose.

Instead, bacteria utilize other sugars and proteins for metabolism. The bacteria still produce some acid in dairy-free yogurt, so the flavor is slightly tart. However, plant-based milk does not have the same proteins that coagulate to form yogurt.

So for this recipe, we aren’t using any plant-based milk. You can make delicious, vegan yogurt using already thick ingredients like cashew cream and coconut cream.

Dairy-Free Mango Coconut Yogurt Ingredients and Supplies

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that you can use a yogurt incubator, but if you don’t have one, no worries! You can incubate at room temperature in a warm-ish spot, like on the counter near the back end of your refrigerator. The timeline will just be slightly different. 

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • A Blender (I have a Vitamix, and it is perfect for blending the ingredients into smooth yogurt)
  • Yogurt Maker (optional) and Jars
  • Vegan Yogurt Cultures or Already-Made Vegan Yogurt
  • Lemon Juice
  • Coconut Cream
  • Unsalted Raw Cashews
  • Maple Syrup
  • Fresh or Frozen Mango, Peeled

For this recipe, cleaning your jars and equipment is essential. To prevent cross-contamination, you need to soak the cashews in boiling water before making the yogurt.

Homemade Vegan Mango Yogurt with Coconut Cream

This dairy-free mango yogurt is a flavorful variation of my coconut cashew yogurt recipe. The coconut and cashews provide the perfect silky smooth yet thick yogurt texture. You can make this creamy, vegan mango yogurt at home with only six ingredients.

  • Prep: 20 minutes
  • Cook: 0 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Unsalted Raw Cashews
  • 1/3 Cup Lemon Juice
  • 24 Ounces Full Fat Coconut Cream
  • 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
  • Yogurt Starter Cultures
  • 1 Cup Diced Mango, Fresh or Frozen

Instructions

  1. Add your cashews to a glass bowl. Top with boiling water and let soak for 30 minutes.
  2. After you soak the cashews, drain and rinse with hot water.
  3. Combine all of the ingredients, except the starter cultures, in a blender and blend on high until smooth.
  4. Heat the mixture to 181° F in a glass container set over boiling water. If you have an instant pot, you can sterilize the mixture on the high yogurt setting.
  5. Allow the mixture to cool to 110° F, then add the starter cultures.
  6. Incubate. You have three options for incubating:
    1. Dispense the yogurt into jars and place the jars in a yogurt maker for 6-8 hours, then immediately refrigerate.
    2. Incubate the entire mixture in the instant pot container on the low yogurt setting at 107° F, then dispense into jars and refrigerate.
    3. OR you can dispense into jars,  incubate at room temperature for 12 hours, then immediately refrigerate.
  7. Chill yogurt in the fridge for at least 4 hours to solidify.
  8. Top with some fresh fruit, and enjoy!

Notes

*For yogurt starter cultures you can use a starter culture packet OR sub for 3 Tablespoons already made vegan yogurt

*This yogurt should keep in the fridge for approximately 2 to 3 weeks.

*Cashews must be raw for a smooth texture

Recent research has shown that shifts in GABA levels, both in the bloodstream and the brain, are closely linked to changes in gut bacteria. These changes play a significant role in our mental health.

Simply put, a higher proportion of GABA-producing microbes in the gut leads to better mental health and a much lower risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s.

Interestingly, much of the GABA found in our bloodstream comes from both our gut microbiome and the food we eat. Studies have identified GABA-producing bacteria in the human gut, including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Bacteroides, as well as in fermented foods, such as Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Leuconostoc, and Weisella. These microorganisms are now being researched for their potential as probiotic therapies to support mental health and combat neurodegenerative diseases.

While the use of fermented foods in mental health care shows promise, more clinical studies are needed to fully understand how these probiotics work and their true impact. Researchers are diving into how specific strains, their metabolites, and the overall composition of fermented foods can affect brain health.

But I think it’s no wonder I feel my best when I’m eating a variety of fermented foods every day!

Peach preserves in kombucha was a success! Flavo Peach preserves in kombucha was a success! 

Flavoring a peach kombucha with peach preserves takes a little longer to carbonate than a secondary ferment with pure fruit juice. And that makes sense!

There’s is a little bit of available fermentable sugar from the peaches in the preserves. But mainly, the microbes have to first enzymatically breakdown the sucrose in the preserves into glucose and fructose, before the yeast can ferment the fructose into CO2 (aka the bubbles) and acids. 

I included directions for using bottled juice, fresh juice and preserves (or jam) in my summer peach kombucha recipe! Get the full recipe with all the options through the recipe index, linked in my bio. 🍑🫧

Roasting garlic increases beneficial garlic compounds like diallyl sulfide and diallyl disulfide — or DADS, for short. Both of these compounds have been studied for their anti-inflammatory (anti-cancer), antioxidant, and antifungal properties.

It’s definitely a sauerkraut you should keep in your rotation.

To get the recipe google “garlic sauerkraut.” and you’ll see mine it’s the first one.

I know, I know, I’m making everything with cottage cheese right now. But how can I not? Cottage cheese is one of the most protein-rich fermented foods.

If you love ice cream and cheesecake-like flavor, you’ll love this recipe. it’s high in protein, requires only four simple ingredients, and does not require churning. So, you do not need an ice cream maker!

A half-cup serving of this ice cream has 12 grams of protein, making it a healthy and balanced sweet snack. Get the recipe from the recipe index linked in my profile.
