Finally got it right! See instructions (including ingredient sources), AND how to make soy yogurt cheese and frozen soy yogurt dessert at the new page:
http://www.bryannaclarkgrogan.com/page/page/1999382.htm
(see "Making soy Yogurt" in the menu at the left of the page).
You don't need soy protein powder or soymilk powder!

Bryanna, the yogurt looks great! Thanks for working so hard to perfect it.
I'm starting to pack up all of my kitchen stuff to move, and just came accross my very old Salton yogurt maker. I think I've only used it a couple of times in 15 years, so I'm excited to make soy yogurt. Do you think that Soy Dream Original would work well in it?
Also, do you have a homemade version of the Mori Nu "Tofu Mates" Pudding Mix? I haven't used it, but have come accross a couple recipes calling for it lately.
Thanks!!!

I think Soy Dream Original would make very good yogurt. I don'thave a recipe for tofu pudding mix, but here are my Tofu Chocolate Mousse recipes;
BRYANNA'S LOWFAT TOFU CHOCOLATE MOUSSE AND VARIATIONS Serves 4
This recipe has probably converted more people to tofu afficionados than any other recipe of mine. It's in "The Almost No-Fat Cookbook" and "Soyfoods Cooking for a Positive Menopause".
1/2 c. unbleached sugar
3 and 1/2 T. strong liquid coffee or espresso, coffee substitute, or water (could also use orange or raspberry juice)
4 and 1/2 T. organic unsweetened cocoa
1 (12.3 oz.) box (firm or extra-firm SILKEN tofu
1 and 1/4 tsp. vanilla
pinch salt
OPTIONAL: 1 and 1/2 T. rum, or coffee, chocolate or other liqueur OR flavored Italian syrup for special coffees OR use 1 and 1/2 T. vanilla in all
OPTIONAL: 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Mix the sugar and liquid in a small saucepan and stir over high heat until dissolved. Stir in the cocoa until a paste forms. Place this in a food processor with the tofu, vanilla, salt and optional liqueur. Process until VERY smooth. Pour into 4 pudding dishes or goblets, cover and chill for several hours.
For a richer version or a rich pie filling, add 1/2 c. (3 oz.) melted semi-sweet dairy-free chocolate chips to the processed mixture.
VARIATIONS:
Frozen Chocolate Tofulato: Double the recipe for the basic or richer version of Tofu Chocolate Mousse and add 1/2 c. plus 2 T. soymilk. Chill. Follow the directions for your ice cream maker.
Fudgesicles: Prepare the basic Tofu Chocolate Mousse, but omit the liqueur and coffee and use 6 T. water in total for liquid. Use only 3 T. cocoa. Freeze the mixture in popsicle molds.
Chocolate Tofu Creme Pie: Double the recipe for the basic or richer version of Tofu Chocolate Mousse, using extra-firm silken tofu. Spread the mixture in a prebaked and cooled 9" crust. Chill thoroughly and top with your favorite non-dairy whipped topping. For Chocolate-Banana Creme Pie, place sliced banana over the crust, spread on half the mousse, another layer of banana, and then the remaining mousse.
BRYANNA'S TOFU CHOCOLATE MOUSSE ICING (OR JUST A VERY RICH CHOCOLATE MOUSSE!) Makes about 2 c.
If you want rich chocolaty taste without the fat, try this easy icing/mousse.
1 (12.3 oz.) box extra-firm SILKEN tofu
1/2 c. plus 1 and 1/2 T. unbleached sugar
1/2 c. plus 1 and 1/2 T. unsweetened organic cocoa
2 T. plus 1 tsp. liquid (this can be coffee, liqueur, orange or raspberry juice, or water; OR a mixture)
2 T. isolated soy protein powder
2 tsp. vanilla
pinch salt
Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until VERY smooth. Chill until it is firm and spreadable.

Ohh.. I want to make this. Do you think this would work with low-fat soymilk? I buy commercial soymilk and split it in half with water, like you. Would I end up with a mess if I used this? :)

You can try it. I use my normal homemade soymilk-- not extra-thick or anything. I used Soy Dream, which was delicious and creamy-- and it is 130 calories per cup.
