YOGURT!

I myself am not a fan, but E LOVES it and was sad to give it up. It has been a year now since he has had any. While at Whole Foods I found coconut milk yogurt. Got one in case he wouldn't dig it, he LOVED IT! DON'T be turned off if you don't like coconut, it really doesn't taste much like coconut at all. If you are looking for it you can taste it be it is mildly light. Since we are in berry season I thought this would be a great way to use all these berries we have been picking. Not to mention to make stuff like tzkiki or however you spell it!

3 cans unsweetened coconut milk
2 cans LITE unsweetened coconut milk
2 Tablespoons tapioca flour
1 six once cup of plain coconut yogurt

Pour all the milk in a large oval crock pot but one can. Pour out about half the last can and with what is remaining in the can mix the tapioca flour well. Pour into crock pot and stir well. Cover and heat on LOW for 2 hours. Check the temp with a GOOD thermometer. As soon as it gets to 180, ( THIS IS SO IMPORTANT! You don't want it any hotter than a few degrees than that or any less, or it will not set! Check often after two hours if it is not at the point by then) take the plug out and let it set for three hours. At this point take the yogurt from the fridge and allow it to get to room temp.
After the three hours, pour a few ladlefuls of the crock pot mixture into a medium bowl and pour the room temp yogurt in with it and mix well. Return the mixture to the crock pot.
Replace the lid and cover with a towel to insulate. MAKE SURE IT IS UNPLUGGED!!! Let it sit overnight if you planned it right. If not, about 8 to 10 hours.
