Soy yogurt recipe guide

Explore dairy-free soy yogurt with an unsweetened soy base, dairy-free culture and no added thickener.

The simulator above opens with this recipe's milk, starter, heat step, temperature and taste targets pre-selected. Adjust them to match your ingredients and kitchen.

Starting ingredients and settings

Plan your batch

  1. Prepare the soy milk, unsweetened with this heat step: 85 °C · 30 min. Cool before adding the starter to 43 °C.
  2. Add Generic Dairy-free / vegan yogurt starter powder using the starting dose of 1 sachet/L. Follow the culture supplier's instructions for activation and dosing.
  3. Use 2% added sugar with no added thickener. Plant beverages vary; match the ingredient label to your chosen base.
  4. Use Yogurt maker at 43 °C. The simulator explores up to 11 hours; use the predicted ready window and the cook-along to plan your batch rather than treating the full window as a fixed fermentation time.
  5. Refrigerate after fermentation to cool the batch and let its texture develop.

These are starting defaults, not a guaranteed outcome. Check the simulator’s warnings and science sources for your chosen milk and culture.

hi, yogurt friend

Pick your milk and starter and watch them turn into yogurt, kefir or skyr in seconds: when it sets, how tangy and thick it gets. Then make it walks you through the real thing, timers and all.

Tip: tap, drag or shake the jar. On a phone or tablet, turn on tilt & shake in the menu to slosh it for real.
