- Can I use shop-bought yoghurt?
- Of course! If you don't want to ferment, simply mix the ingredients with shop-bought natural yoghurt. The recipe steps cover both versions.
- How do I remove the hazelnut skin?
- After roasting, rub the hazelnuts in a clean tea towel; most of the skin will come off this way.
Probiotic roasted hazelnut yoghurt
Roasting hazelnuts is a simple step that dramatically changes the taste experience: the heat brings the oils in the nuts to life, giving them a deep, buttery aroma. This crunchy texture meets the soft, tart yoghurt – a perfect contrast.

Instructions
1
✓
Put the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan and roast over medium heat, shaking, for 5-6 minutes until fragrant and the skins crack.
Tip: Be careful, as hazelnuts can burn suddenly due to their high oil content!
2
✓
Pour onto a plate to cool, then roughly chop.
Tip: Do not leave in the hot pan, as the residual heat will continue to cook them.
3
✓
IF MAKING WITH SHOP-BOUGHT YOGHURT: Mix the yoghurt with the honey, vanilla, and lemon juice, then fold in the hazelnuts. Done!
Tip: Ready to eat immediately, a crunchy experience.
4
✓
IF FERMENTING AT HOME: Boil the milk, then cool back to 43-45°C (lukewarm).
Tip: This temperature is ideal for bacterial growth; hot milk would kill them.
5
✓
Stir the culture into the milk, add the honey and vanilla. Place in a warm spot (or machine) for 6-8 hours.
Tip: During fermentation, lactose converts to lactic acid, making it thick and tart.
6
✓
Chill the finished yoghurt and stir in the roasted hazelnuts and lemon juice before serving.
Tip: Add the hazelnuts only at the end so they don't go soft.
