Instructions

Prepare the Agar-Agar

Bloom the agar-agar by soaking it in 1/2 cup of hot water for 10-15 minutes until softened. Gently heat over low heat, stirring constantly until completely dissolved. Set aside.

Blend the Coconut

Combine the shredded coconut and coconut water in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

Make the Milk Mixture

In a saucepan, combine the milk, sweetened condensed milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm.

Combine and Chill

Gently pour the warm milk mixture into the dissolved agar-agar. Stir to combine thoroughly. Add the blended coconut mixture and stir well to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Pour the mixture into a serving bowl or individual serving dishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the pudding has fully set and cooled.

Garnish and Serve

Once the pudding has set, garnish with roasted cashews. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Coconut Pudding

For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk instead of shredded coconut and coconut water. Adjust the amount of condensed milk according to your taste.
To ensure a smooth pudding, strain the coconut mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before adding it to the agar-agar mixture. This removes any fibrous bits.
Roasting the cashews enhances their flavor and gives them a delightful crunch. Simply roast them in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned.
Feel free to experiment with other garnishes like toasted coconut flakes, shredded mango, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and visual appeal.
