How to Make Lou Corona's Famous Cultured Almond Coconut Yogurt

If you're looking for a delicious dairy-free yogurt packed with live cultures, Lou Corona's Cultured Almond Coconut Yogurt has become one of the most popular recipes within the PuraDyme community.

Made using LiyfBiotic Multi-Strain Probiotics, fresh young coconut and soaked almonds, this simple homemade recipe creates a naturally cultured yogurt that is creamy, refreshing and easy to prepare.

Unlike many commercially produced yogurts, this recipe allows the probiotic cultures to naturally ferment the mixture, creating a living food that can be enjoyed on its own, with fresh fruit or blended into smoothies.

Whether you're following a plant-based lifestyle or simply looking to try homemade cultured foods, this recipe is an excellent place to start.

Why Culture Your Own Almond Coconut Yogurt?

Culturing allows beneficial probiotic bacteria to ferment the ingredients over several hours.

During fermentation, the live cultures begin transforming the mixture, producing the characteristic tangy flavour associated with cultured yogurt. Homemade cultured yogurt also gives you complete control over the ingredients you use.

Many people enjoy making their own cultured yogurt because it contains:

Dairy-free ingredients
Live probiotic cultures
Fresh young coconut
Natural plant-based ingredients
No artificial colours or preservatives

The Role of LiyfBiotic

The key to this recipe is LiyfBiotic Multi-Strain Probiotics.

LiyfBiotic provides carefully selected probiotic cultures that help initiate the fermentation process, transforming the almond and coconut mixture into a delicious cultured yogurt. The original PuraDyme recipe uses ½ teaspoon of LiyfBiotic together with soaked almonds, young coconut and Liyf Essentials before allowing the mixture to ferment for several hours.

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1 – Soak the Almonds

Soak raw almonds for approximately 24 hours, then rinse thoroughly before blending.

Step 2 – Blend

Add Ingredients:

Soaked almonds
Fresh coconut meat
Coconut water
LiyfBiotic
Liyf Essentials

Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 3 – Strain

Pour the mixture through a fine nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer to remove any remaining almond skins or coconut shell fragments.

Step 4 – Ferment

Transfer the mixture into a clean glass container.

Cover with a clean paper towel or breathable cloth.

Allow the yogurt to culture:

Approximately 3 hours on a warm day.
4–6 hours in cooler temperatures.

As the cultures develop, the yogurt gradually becomes tangier. The original recipe advises discarding the batch if it develops a pink colour, as this indicates spoilage rather than normal fermentation.

Step 5 – Refrigerate

Once cultured to your preferred taste, seal the container and refrigerate.

The yogurt is generally best enjoyed within several days and will continue to develop a stronger cultured flavour over time.

Save Your Starter

One of Lou Corona's favourite tips is to keep around 2 tablespoons of each finished batch.

Using a little of the previous batch as a starter culture can help kick-start the next fermentation and may reduce the need to add fresh probiotic powder each time.
