Ingredients

3 young coconuts, at room temperature

2 dairy-free probiotic capsules or 1 tablespoon dairy-free probiotic powder

fresh berries, to serve (optional)

Method

1.Open the coconuts and strain the coconut water into a bowl. Set aside.

2.Scrape out the coconut flesh, trying not to include any husk, and place in a blender. Add the coconut water and blend until creamy – it should have the consistency of yoghurt.

3.Pour the mixture into a glass bowl and add the contents of the probiotic capsules or the probiotic powder.

4.Cover the bowl with muslin (cheesecloth), securing it with the elastic band, and put in a cool, dry, dark place for 1–2 days. When ready, it should taste fairly sharp without a hint of sweetness.

5.Add stevia to taste, then refrigerate and enjoy over the next 7 days. Serve with fresh berries, if using.
