I love there store bought coconut flavoured yogurts. I usually make my own but i cant find any type of coconut aromas around (even synthetics). Is there some way to do some similar yogurts? I use powdered milk, whey and casein in my yogurts so the only missing ingredient is the aroma.
Tell me more

There are two choices when flavoring yogurt: while you are making it and after it is made. If you want to make a batch of yogurt and choose your flavors later you may enjoy adding coconut extract (or other extracts) after the fact. However, if you are set on a single flavor (as your question implies) you will get better results adding a flavoring oil, the chemistry of oils vs. alcohol seem to react differently. Check out the "Mr. Yogurt" link, he has done some experimenting that will help you along. |

Use coconut milk powder. It is very fine and dissolves easy and tastes great, better than artificial essence. Also it is pure white and does not alter the texture or color. I found it in an Indian store, what a find. I also use it in coconut custard pies dissolved in regular milk instead of the canned coconut milk, and to change basic cake recipes into coconut cake. |

Do you really need a synthetic flavour? If not, why don't you simply add grated coconut or coconut milk to your yoghurt? |
