Is it possible to make yoghurt at home with dairy-free milks (soy, coconut, etc)?

I regularly make my own yoghurt from cow's milk by adding live yoghurt and leaving it to incubate for a few hours. Is it possible to make dairy free yoghurt (from soy milk, or coconut milk, or other dairy free milk alternatives?) I know it is available to buy in the shops but what would the process be for making it at home?
Best Answer
Yes, you can. You just have to use a culture that can be used on vegetable milks. The method is basically the same as with regular yogurt.

Can you make yogurt from non-dairy?
There are many reasons for choosing to make yogurt using non-dairy milk: a vegan diet, allergies to dairy, or a restricted diet. Regardless of the reason, non-dairy milks can be cultured into dairy free yogurt, with some care.Can you make yogurt with milk alternatives?
While you can culture alternative milks with yogurt starters, these cultures won't survive for long in the alternative milks. To make yogurt with alternative milks, you must use a new starter each time since the starter cultures cannot be re-cultured without the properties of dairy milk.Can yogurt be made from soy milk?
This homemade soy yogurt is a clear example of how easy it can be to prepare food at home and in addition, we can save money. To make homemade soy yogurt you're gonna need only two ingredients: soy milk and a starter (you can use store-bought or previously homemade soy yogurt or a yogurt starter powder).Which non-dairy milk is best for making yogurt?
Of all the nondairy milks you could use for yogurt, cashew milk works best, turning pleasantly sour with an underlying sweetness.
