2Tbspreal maple syrupbecause coconut milk does not have a lot of natural sugar, needed for fermentation
Instructions
Place coconut milk in a large saucepan over medium heat, clip a candy thermometer on the side (make sure it is not touching the bottom of the pan, or you will get a false high reading)
Heat coconut milk until it reaches 180°F, stirring occasionally (this kills any bad bacteria, you don't want that fermenting!).
Remove from heat and allow to cool to 110°F.
Stir the gelatin into a small amount of water until dissolved, then add to the heated coconut milk.
Stir in yogurt starter and maple syrup.
Pour into a clean glass jar.
Cover glass jar with a cheesecloth or paper towel and place into a dehydrator.
Set the temp to 110°F and allow to ferment for 8-24 hours, the longer it goes the more tart it will be (I always do 24 hours).
When you have fermented it for as long as you desire, then place it on the counter and let it cool until it is cool enough to place in the fridge. Do not stir or disturb it. Allow to cool for a few more hours, or overnight. This is what really develops the thick greek yogurt consistency!
