Well it's made by So Delicious (better known for their soy based
products but their coconut products are soy free) so your local health
food store should be able to order it for you. However they are
expensive and I would think you could make it yourself. Living Without
magazine published this recipe for coconut yogurt in the Oct/Nov 2009
issue:
4 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon sugar or honey (more to taste)
1/8 teaspoon yogurt culture starter or 1 packet yogurt culture mix
2 teaspoons gelatin, pectin or agar powder combined with 4 teaspoons of
water, optional for thickening.
1) heat milk to 180 degrees (Do not Boil)
2) cool milk to between 105 and 115 degrees
3) stir in sweetener until dissolved. Add culture and stir well.
4) put in your yogurt maker for 8 to 12 hours
5) to thicken, soften gelatin (or what ever thickener you are using) in
water When it thickens (about 30 seconds), microwave gelatin mixture for
10 seconds or until it becomes liquid. Stir into yogurt and refrigerate
until chilled.
They also have a recipe for nut milk yogurt on their website:

I tried the coconut milk yogurt recipe and it came out very thin before
the thickener much like kefir
Good luck
