    Hello Mary,

    Thank you for this recipe! I recently got some probiotic capsules so I am looking forward to trying it.

    I have a video request- the Happy Whipped Cream from Morinokomepan cooking looks amazing, too good to be true, but I failed to get the right texture when I tried it!

    This looks amazing! I canโ€™t wait to try making it! I donโ€™t have a pressure cooker though; do you think thereโ€™s any way to make this in a slow cooker if kept on the lowest temperature, or would that be too high still, and kill off the good bacteria we added in?

    I use vegan actimel per 1l of coconut cream from carton. Put it on sourdough starter setting in my breadmaker. Once it's sour to my taste it goes in the fridge and I make agar agar and starch kind of cross between jelly and custard. Mix all together and a weeks worth of yogurt is made.

    Butter and other creamy things are always my favourite. ๐Ÿคค I also a huge fan of yogurt, kefir or cheese, things that have microbes. ๐Ÿ˜… Can you make a tutorial of how to make a vegan Greek yogurt, Mary? There are many recipes using cashews, almonds or full-fat coconut milk but I'm curious about more sustainable crops like peanuts, hemp hearts or oats. It would be a good idea if you show us how to ferment any plant-based milk deliciously!! Home-made, affordable and nutritious Greek yogurt is my dream. #reciperequest

    My InstantPot doesn't have a yogurt settling, but I just sprout quinoa to make rejuvelac and then use that to make butter. Tastes as good as Miyoko's to me and it's like 1/10 the price to make. Definitely give it a try if you haven't. It's not as hard as it seems at first and once you get the hang of it, it's easy. Great as a gift for vegans too! Make up a huge batch and make a couple different compound butters. Add a sour dough loaf or some high quality bagels and you're good to go!

    3:55 This looks great! Iโ€™ll have to try it since I like Miyokoโ€™s and my Instant Pot has been languishing lately. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    I noticed your lid cracked on your Pyrex bowl. I had the same issue (plus staining) so I looked around for one-to-one silicone replacements because I was fed up, and found some from a company called โ€œSophicoโ€. I love them, personally. Definitely not cheap (like $8 a piece), but they appear to be practically indestructible. 10/10 would recommend them. I think you can find them on Amazon if youโ€™re interested. ๐Ÿ˜Š Only complaint is that theyโ€™re a bit grippy. Can be an issue when stacking things in the fridge if youโ€™re not careful.

    Yay this is exactly how I make butter and my family loves it. You should have it with this Indian flatbread called paratha! It's so good.

    I tried making a clarified butter (ghee) from this but it wasn't very satisfactory. I generally make my own coconut milk for the butter so while at it I'll try adding in tahini and make it, maybe?

    Surprisingly, the canned coconut from Dollar Tree has no gums or other thickeners. It's a bit thin (because it's from the Dollar Tree) so you can't use it for high-fat applications like this. But if you want something you can use in curry and smoothies, it's good. It's a brand called Azul.
