The Spruce Eats / Bahareh Niati
This raw food version of plain yogurt can be enjoyed in many ways. You can flavor it for a simple yogurt. It can be served with homemade raw vegan granola or some fresh fruit. The process is the same as raw nut cheese recipes, but with a different nut-to-water ratio for a thinner, more spoonable result.
As with store-bought yogurt, a little water will settle at the bottom of this yogurt. It is the more sour part of the equation but is perfectly safe to consume. The water adds a tangy flavor if that suits you. Otherwise, you may want to scoop the yogurt off and pour out the water.
Add fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of raw vegan sweetener (agave nectar or maple syrup or whatever you like) and enjoy a delicious raw vegan breakfast or snack!

“Making homemade yogurt is easier than you may think, and this dairy free version is a great way to get started. I chose to use cashews for their mild flavor and “meatiness” and it came out delicious. I let mine sit for about 24 hours before adding a little bit of lemon for more tang.” —Tracy Wilk

Transfer the mixture to a clean glass jar and cover with plastic wrap, held on with a rubber band. Leave in a warm place to ferment, 16 to 24 hours. The longer it sits, the more fermentation that will occur.
