If you love plant-based yogurt you are sure to be thrilled with this new vegan, nut milk recipe because it’s just so quick and easy to make. The ingredients are simply cashews, water and gut loving bacteria. Tenderising the cashews with a short pre-soak makes it easy to turn them into milk. With the Vibe Blender System you’ll get silky smooth milk in under a minute. There’s no straining or squeezing pulp, heating or adding thickeners to get a sumptuous result.
Homemade cashew yogurt is super creamy and has all the wonderful tang of a dairy yogurt. Whether you’re dairy-free, vegan, or just looking to change up your breakfast routine, you’ll love this yogurt. Cashew yogurt can be used in any dish that calls for dairy yogurt. We served ours with a lovely homemade strawberry chia jam.
Unlike animal milk, nut milk doesn’t naturally contain sugar. The Yogurt starter culture need something to feed on to allow the culturing process to take place. One teaspoon of sugar or one tablespoon of pasteurised honey is enough to kick start fermentation. Raw honey may have an antibiotic effect and is therefore not suitable for making yogurt.
You will need a yogurt starter culture or probiotic to introduce the fermentation of bacteria to your cashew milk. Use the amount of starter culture indicated on the packet or one dose of probiotic. Purchase non-dairy starter culture here.

4 cups (500grams) raw cashews
warm water for soaking
3 cups filtered water for blending
Dairy free starter culture
Cover the cashews with water and let them soak for 1-4 hours. If you don’t have a high-speed blender such as the Vibe Blender System a longer soaking time is advisable.
Drain and rinse the cashews under running tap water. Tap to remove as much excess water as possible.
Add the cashews and the filtered water into the Vibe blender jug.
Secure the lid on the jug and then blend on ‘smoothie’ mode for 60 seconds or until the cashew milk is silky smooth.
Pour the cashew mixture into a sterile yogurt making jar.
Secure the lid on then place the glass yogurt jar into your yogurt maker.
Pour water slowly into the base. The water must not be filled over the ‘tall line’ indicated on the inside wall of the maker.
Place the cover lid on top. The milk is now ready to begin fermentation.
Use the digital control panel to set the temperature to 38° C (100° F), the time to between 12 and 24-hours and then press ‘confirm’ to begin incubation. A longer fermentation will result in a tarter tasting yogurt. We fermented for 15 hours.
After 12 - 24 hours the fermentation is complete. Note, condensation will have collected under the cover lid. Please take care removing it and allow the water to drip into the water bath, instead of your bench. Switch the yogurt maker off and remove the yogurt jar. Straight from the maker the yogurt will be runny and warm.
Place the jar in the fridge for at least 6 hours to chill and set.
1-2 teaspoons of vanilla may stirred into the yogurt after chilling.
