This cashew-based raw yogurt recipe is definitely more of a yogurt than an icing or a frosting. It will not get very solid in the fridge. It will firm up somewhat during the 2 hour refrigeration, but it will never be stiff or solid. Its texture is, well, like yogurt!

Recipe Directions
- 1. Place all ingredients into blender. Blend until it reaches a thin yogurt-style consistency. There should be absolutely no grittiness or chunks of anything left.
- 2. Transfer into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- 3. You now have raw yogurt!
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Always store your raw yogurt in the fridge.

Enjoy as a yogurt, as seen in this picture with morning fruit toppings. Add crumbled walnuts and dates for an even nicer breakfast experience, similar to granola and yogurt.

Raw yogurt recipe
This recipe is so delicious! The texture is very smooth and light, and it tastes great with strawberries and blueberries. I cannot wait to try with other fruits, such as pineapple, oranges, blackberries, etc. Superb!

Yogurt, YEA!!!! Is the coconut essential to the recipe? I'm not very fond of coconut and would like to try without, but hate to waste my food.

Hello! I have a question. If the cashews are soaked, is the recipe the same? Would it be a cup soaked cashews or unsoaked? Since they grow once soaked.

Raw yogurt recipe
This is so disgusting! It has nothing in common with yoghurt and the texture is like hard mousse!

Hi Hazel! I am sorry that you didn't have success with this one.. What kind of blender do you have?

What is a serving size, 1/4 cup?

I'm not sure about the serving size in cups, but if you make the entire recipe, it makes 9 servings... So that should help you gauge it!
46 g (2 oz) suggested serving :)

Raw yogurt recipe
I made this yesterday and I found it too rich, a bit too much...but I added fruit (and processed) and then it became so smooth and tasty. I added some seeds and it was delicious!

I'm so glad that it turned out for you, MOndes. It is super rich. It is basically...cashew creme :)

Raw yogurt recipe
I searched yoghurt and Yay! I ised a only 1tbs coconut oil and flax seends instead of coconut flakes and less honey plus two drops of stevia. Thick and creamy and delicious!

I already had soaked cashews and a Thai coconut in the fridge and I've been wanting to make a quick breakfast to take to work with me. This recipe is perfect!!! I used the Thai coconut meat instead of shredded and it was extra creamy. Yummmyyy.

Raw yogurt recipe
do you use liquid or solid coconut oil?
The Rawtarian
Jun 03, 2016
Hi Franella,
As you probably know, your coconut oil can be liquid or solid depending on the temperature of your house-- and it can go from solid to liquid again in the summer vs winter!
When cooking with coconut oil, I usually make sure it's liquid first by taking a few spoonfuls and melting that amount a little, in the dehydrator, in the microwave, in a double-boiler, etc. That way it gets liquid and is easier to use. Then I measure out the amount and if I've melted too much I just drop that back in the jar.

Microwaves are dangerous; they change the molecular make up of the food in such a way that can damage your Health. Research it.

Could vanilla powder be used? If so, how much??
The Rawtarian
Oct 28, 2015
Sure. Vanilla powder is a little stronger than extract. Try 1/4 to 1/2 tablespoon of powder.

Dear Jane. What do you think about adding one teaspoon of probiotics before fridging?

Why not? Are probiotics bad?

It appears that honey is being used as a sweetener. Can maple syrup be substituted instead? I realize that the recipe won't be 100% raw then but I'm OK with that.

Yes, that is totally fine :) Maybe increase the amount slightly since honey is a bit sweeter than maple syrup.

Just wondering if potassium could be added to nutrient list? If room is of consideration, maybe drop B12 as that is ALWAYS gonna be 0 unless fortified nutritional yeast is used. Conversely, potassium is plentiful in almost every recipe & with the importance of keeping the potassium/sodium balance - it is vital information.
