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!

- 2. Transfer into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

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

That's good news, Brooke! Sometimes the little ones aren't so keen on 'different' things! :)

It was really rich. I am having a small amount and I ate it with cherries. Delicious

Looks yummy. I'm going raw vegan for a month on June 28th so just perusing the web for recipes. One question though, is honey raw/vegan because it is a animals (bees) byproduct? Thanks!

Hi Zara! Many vegans do not eat honey for the reason you mentioned. In my recipes, you can use agave nectar, honey and maple syrup interchangeably.

Question: What do you mean by vanilla in this recipe? I am only aware of vanilla essence or extract.
The Rawtarian
May 26, 2014
Hi Ruth! Good question. I just modified the ingredients to reflect the fact that I meant pure vanilla extract :)

I made this tonight and it tasted gorgeous! I did soak my cashew and coconut for 20 mins just to soften. Blended beautifully. Also doubles up as a nice frosting on the the rawtarians lovely carrot cake

laura j,
would you recommend soaking cashews for this one? or straight up? it might be a good idea to include a soak or not soak index with every recipe. i always forget the protocol!

Hi Jeannine - great idea re: soaking section!! I like.
For this recipe, soaking is NOT required

Raw yogurt recipe
Mine turned out to be thicker than yogurt, but nonetheless it was AMAZING!!

Could I use raw blanched almonds instead of the cashews? They are impossible to find here in Mexico.

I wanted to know the samw thing because i try to keep to my blood type foods and As are not allowed cashews.

Hi Deborah,
Can you use pine nuts or macadamia nuts instead?

I love love love this idea!!! I WAS a fan of yogurt but since I went dairy-free over 10 years ago I'm been really missing it! I'm definitely going to try this! ;-)

I think this will meet your approval, Lisa! :)

I'm making this tonight for breakfast tomorrow. Can't wait to try it. I have missed having dairy yogurt these past few years. It'll be a nice treat.

I loved the flavor. But, I think I used too few cashews or too much coconut oil because the texture wasn't soft and creamy. It was very thick. :( But, good none-the-less. I ate it with raisins, mango and pistachios.

Hey Rhindah!
Could have been a combination of them both :) Plus it does firm up a bit in the fridge.
