Notes

  • If you prefer, you can substitute cow’s milk for 1 can (about 1 3/4 cups) of coconut milk. Please note that if you use coconut milk without emulsifiers then your pudding will show separation of coconut cream, milk and water. It doesn’t affect the taste just the appearance.
  • To make this vegan, you’ll need to use 1 tablespoon agar agar powder instead of gelatin and another can of coconut milk instead of cow’s milk. And the method is different as agar agar powder has different needs than gelatin. Combine all the ingredients in a small stock pot over medium heat. Bring to a slow boil and let cook for about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into the serving dish immediately. The agar agar powder allows the mixture to solidify at room temperature in a much shorten amount of time than gelatin. 
  • Use light honey to keep the pudding as white (traditional) as possible.
  • If you prefer a more traditional recipe or just don't enjoy the strong taste of honey, you can substitute white sugar for the honey.
  • This recipe requires an 8x8 baking dish like this one.
