The firmness and consistency will depend on the amount of Smooth Gel used and this can be varied to your personal taste. You may also have different results depending on the brand of coconut cream used and how much water has been added to it.

All coconut creams are not created equal. You may need to try a few different brands before you find the one you like the best. For best results use a coconut cream with a high content of coconut cream rather than one with lots of water in it. This is our favourite brand and has a coconut cream content of 99.9% Kara has a 99.9% coconut cream content.

The sugar, agave nectar, maple syrup or golden syrup is added as a food source for the living culture. If your Coconut Yoghurt is too sweet, you can try reducing the amount, however, this is a bit of a balancing act between too sweet, and the culture not having enough complex carbohydrates to eat. Avoid using honey as the antibacterial properties of the honey may hinder the culture growth.
