How To Make Peanut Yogurt (plain Or Roasted)
  1. To ensure easy blending, soak peanuts in plenty of water overnight. The next day, drain but save the water. In a rush? skip this step and just blend a bit longer.

  2. Combine the peanuts with double their volume of water (550-600ml); you can use the leftover soaking water. Blend for 30 seconds on high speed in a high powered blender (like Vitamix or Blendtec) or about 2-3 minutes if you're using a conventional blender.

  3. Strain the pulp from the milk using a nut milk bag. The leftover pulp should be lightweight and fluffy. If not, combine with milk and blend for a longer time and strain again. Save the pulp for other recipes.

  4. In a generously sized pot (since the milk will bubble up), heat the peanut milk to boiling. Then turn off the heat and let it cool to 100°F.

  5. Mix in your starter or 2 heaping tablespoons of yogurt. Then transfer the inoculated peanut milk to a sterile glass container and add a loose-fitting lid.

  6. Incubate at 100°F for 8 to 12 hours. Check the tanginess at the 8 hr mark using a sterilized spoon (do not double dip!). Keep checking every hour until the yogurt is as tangy as you like it. Afterwards, refridgerate it. It will become thicker once chilled.

  7. Optional - strain! To make Greek-style thick yogurt, you can use the same nut milk bag (usually takes longer) or a couple pieces of reusable cheesecloth draped over a wire mesh sieve over a bowl to catch the whey. Let rest for a couple hours in the fridge or until it's the thickness you desire. Enjoy!
