How to Make Coconut Milk Yoghurt (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Coconut Milk Yoghurt, known locally as 'Yoghurt Santan', is a beloved beverage in Malaysia, reflecting the country's rich multicultural heritage. This creamy, tangy treat is crafted using santan (coconut milk), a staple ingredient in Malaysian kitchens, especially among Malay, Indian, and Chinese communities. Traditionally enjoyed as a refreshing drink or light snack, Coconut Milk Yoghurt combines the natural sweetness of coconut with the subtle fragrance of pandan leaves, offering a unique flavor profile distinct to Malaysia's tropical climate. The dish celebrates Malaysia’s love for local ingredients such as pandan (daun pandan), lemongrass (serai), and palm sugar (gula Melaka). Its smooth texture and mild tartness make it a delightful alternative to dairy-based yoghurts, especially for those seeking plant-based options. The recipe is health-conscious, utilizing simple, whole foods and minimal added sugars, making it suitable for calorie tracking and dietary management. Perfect for breakfast or lunch, Coconut Milk Yoghurt is a testament to Malaysia’s culinary ingenuity and tradition of transforming everyday ingredients into nourishing, flavorful foods.

Arahan
- 1
In a saucepan, combine santan, pandan leaf, sea salt, and serai. Gently heat over low flame, stirring occasionally, until mixture is fragrant and just begins to simmer.
5 minutes
Do not boil to avoid separation of coconut milk.
- 2
Remove pandan and serai. Sprinkle agar-agar powder into the warm santan, whisking continuously to dissolve thoroughly.
3 minutes
Ensure agar-agar is fully dissolved for smooth texture.
- 3
Allow the mixture to cool to about 40°C (lukewarm). Stir in the natural yoghurt starter and mix gently.
5 minutes
Temperature is key—too hot will kill the starter culture.

Pour mixture into clean glass jars or bowls. Cover loosely and let ferment in a warm area (28-35°C) for 12-16 hours until set and slightly tangy.
12 hours
Longer fermentation yields a tangier yoghurt.
