I have to admit, I am so reluctant in jelly or pudding as I am not very fond of the texture. This is another recipe I wanted to try as soon as I tasted in the Kerala restaurant KCK. Hope you all remember the kappa vada and kanthari drink I posted after tasting there.

I actually did not order this initially for me, but when I tasted, me and Aj loved it. So ordered it again though we were full already. Each and every bite was full of tender coconut flavour, subtle and well balanced in taste.

So wanted to try this out ever since I came back to SG. Couple of days back saw one of my reader friend Uthra made perfectly, which gave me a push to try immediately. Successfully tried after two months of thinking, thanks to her. Until I unmoulded, it was a suspense. So very happy to see the jiggly tender coconut pudding 😍.

Tips to use agar agar:

  • Always mix agar agar to room temperature liquid, then start heating.
  • If using agar agar strand, make sure to soak before starting heat to dissolve.
  • Strain (if using strands)and use after dissolving.
  • Pour into moulds as soon as mixing. Bring to room temperature before refrigerating.
  • If buying powder agar agar, take a note of the colour and flavour and choose according to the recipe.
  • Cut agar agar strips with scissors and powder for easy usage.

Tips for pudding:

  • Do not add too much of agar agar as it will spoil the pudding texture. Even if it is less, you can spoon from the serving dish.
  • Avoid using artificial food colours as much as possible.

Notes

  • Run a knife along the sides if you have difficulties in demoulding.
  • Use shallow bowls/ plate for easy demoulding. Let the mouth be broad.
  • Do not use more agar agar than mentioned otherwise the pudding will not be soft in texture.
  • You can increase the pulp quantity.
  • I want to try with little fresh cream as suggested by my reader friend.
    For vegan version, just skip condensed milk, use more sugar and use coconut milk instead of cow's milk.

      Just heating is enough 🙂 Idea is to keep both agar agar mixture and the milk almost same temperature so that milk doesn’t break/ curdle.

    Whats the alternate for agar – agar?
    If we dont get tender coconut – Can we use whole coconut and hope for the taste?

      If not agar agar, gelatin is the other option. If not both, can use corn flour for thickening, but wont get it wiggly. Just can serve in set cups as such. If not tender coconut , try getting tinned tender coconut. Or use plain milk/ coconut milk as replacement.

    Hi Rajeswari, so what quantity of fresh cream to be added? Do we need to beat and boil along with condensed milk? By adding Fresh cream does it enhance the taste? Or we can just skip this step?

      If adding fresh cream, no need to whip, just mix with milk. Since I have not tried this, I cannot tell you exactly. I will update if I try next season. If want to try in your own risk, can reduce 1/2 cup milk and replace it with cooking cream (not whipping cream as whipping cream has more fat percentage than cooking cream). As you have told, just mix along condensed milk. Fresh cream sure will give rich taste comparatively.
      You can skip that step sure totally.

    What is the ratio of agar agar strand to powder?

      1 tsp of powdered agar = 1/3 cup agar strands (cut into 1 inch pieces) You can also powder it and measure.

      Sure, you can use gelatin. For this recipe, 1 & 1/2 tbsp gelatin should set the pudding easily.

      Did you use powder or flakes? If using flakes, you can try increasing quantity.

    There is another variant of this pudding where it has two parts.
    The bottom part will have the gelatin or agar agar mix coconut water and tender coconut mix. It will be translucent.
    The top part will have coconut milk sweetening agent and again tender cocont paste. It will be white in color.

    SO excited to try this!! I have tried out a few recipes for coconut pudding but I had been wanting to try (and could not find) one with coconut water, condensed milk, and agar agar.

    Which brand of agar agar do you use?
