Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 10 grams gelatin powder
  • 50 grams granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water (for dissolving gelatin)

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it softens and swells.
  2. Heat the coconut milk and sugar: In a small saucepan, gently heat the coconut milk with the sugar over low to medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
  3. Combine gelatin and coconut milk mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and add the bloomed gelatin to the warm coconut milk. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Pour into molds: Pour the coconut mixture into individual serving molds or a shallow dish for easier slicing later.
  5. Chill to set: Place the molds in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the pudding is firm and set.
  6. Serve: Once set, unmold the pudding by dipping the molds briefly in warm water if necessary, and serve cold for a refreshing dessert.

Notes

  • For a firmer texture, increase gelatin to 12 grams.
  • Can be garnished with fresh fruit or toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
  • Ensure the coconut milk is not boiled to prevent separating.
  • Use a non-dairy gelatin alternative if vegan-friendly option is desired, but texture may vary.
