Coconut Pudding

Coconut pudding is a creamy dessert made from coconut milk or coconut and a thickener, most commonly starch or agar. It has a distinctive coconut flavour and a smooth, silky texture. It is a popular part of Asian cuisine, where it is served as a standalone dessert or as a filling for cakes and tarts. Because it uses plant-based ingredients, it is naturally vegan and lactose-free. It can easily be made at home from canned coconut milk or purchased as an instant powder. It also makes an excellent base for panna cotta or tropical-style dessert cups.
