I know this is an odd question, but could you use almond or soy milk with this and get comparable results?

Hi, I know that this is an older question, but there are several good books sold here on Amazon about dairy free cheeses. I have come to the conclusion that none of the cheeses are quite like the real thing texture wise. Although they are time consuming to make, the best substitutes that I have found are in the book Artisan Vegan Cheese by Miyoko Schinner. Another one that has some recipes that are a little easier time wise is called The Non-Dairy Formulary: Vegan Cuisine for the Ethical Gourmet [Paperback]Skye Michael Conroy. I would suggest that you get the second book elsewhere, as I just saw that although I paid under ten dollars for it, the price has changed here. Good luck!

Alex, I have tried a few kinds of milk from the grocery stores...Skim, 1% and 2% and they would not set. They came out very soft. Almost like a spread and no flavor. No one cared for it. Whole milk was ok, but the best is raw milk right from the farm. It was " GREAT ". So I'm thinking Almond or Soy milk ( which has no fat contents ) won't work well at all. I hope this answered your question.

If your intent is to make vegan cheese be warned that rennet is an enzyme from the cow's stomach that helps calves digest the protein. the cheesecloth could be used to make Tofu from soy milk, but you'd need other coagulating agents, just google "make tofu"

Never thought about it. What I do know is the the milk must not be ultra-pasteurized.

We tried making almond butter with this blender and were not successful. It's partially our fault for thinking that if you soak the nuts for a few hours it would help blended them up faster. We have not tried since then. I know this does not necessarily answer your question but thought I would share my experience.

I have yet to use whole milk. I know that 1% and soy milK work well. My wife used almond milk the other day and nothing happened.

I have used dry mill and it was great, of course that is dairy but in process of using almond milk with honey as a sweetener. I think it will work as I substitute that for most dairy . This is amp fail yogurt maker as hv used it for severAl years. No need to heat anything with this one, its perfect everyte!

Yes, I just made some this morning with these almonds and have used these before for almond milk. They make it tasty!

I understand that, I'm always looking for alternative ways to do things! It would probably work alright. The holes are a little big for a serious filter, but once you got some almond meal over the sieve, it would help act as a filter. If you wanted it more finely filtered, you could pour the milk through a very fine sieve. It would depend on how you felt about a little almond meal in the final product. It would be easy to clean. Be sure and save and reuse the almond meal. If you were worried about keeping it too long, you could freeze it! :-)

Sure Patricia. I haven't actually made almond milk with it yet, but I put whole almonds in my green drinks and I get a smoothe finish every time. So have fun making your milk my dear. Carol.

I would not use it for that, it has a very eggy taste. Try almond milk, then flour, back in milk, breadcrumbs.

Yes to first question. I make smoothies with many nut varieties (from Costco) and it works great. I do not know much about making almond milk, follow the recipe.

I have had no success with anything except 2% cow's milk. I have tried whole milk (no) and 2% plus a tiny bit of a non-dairy creamer (no). I think I even tried 1% milk, but don't remember. Never tried almond milk, which sounds delicious, so based on my experience I would say no. Maybe I will try it in the near future and then let you know. It would be interesting if it did froth. There's always the hand-held frother which works with everything! '

This is a PS to a previous answer I submitted. A blender may be better for making almond milk. I have a Hamilton Beach Model 54619 and I made seeded watermelon juice and the seeds ended up being just tiny little black specks in the juice.

My take is you could make "coconut water" rather than coconut milk. The machine isn't an extractor - it essentially pulverizes what goes into the cup and mixes it with the (required) liquid in the tank. I've added some shredded coconut (either fresh or re-constituted - not dry) to almonds almonds for a coconut-flavored almond milk. If you're after actual coconut milk/nectar, a juice/extractor might be a better bet. But you should still check with manufacturer, as there are different grades/strengths of juicers. Also, definitely check with Soyabella's manufacturer and let us know if you can, in fact make coconut milk with it. (I'd be surprised)

I have not tried to use soy milk because I should not drink soy milk due to history of Breast cancer.. But I used skim milk, 2% milk, or almond milk.It works great! Only thing that you need to do is clean the bottom of frother well right away after using it.

I don't use eggs with my ice cream. Unfortunately I have not used soy or almond milk. I have used heavy whipping cream, and I want to try original greek yogurt, or the vanilla. It could be interesting.

I didn't try soy milk i tried the almond silk milk which taste very good you can also try the almond silk with coconut.

I tried to make almond milk yogurt with this starter in an Instant Pot with the yogurt making function with no success. I have also unsuccessfully tried cashew and coconut milk. I am actually an testing it right now to make sure it is actually alive. If I find it to be a dud, I will follow up here. I did end up purchasing GI Pro Start (also vegan) that I have found a bit more successful.

Yes, the milk frother works with almond milk. That's what we use, and it works quite well!
