Description

If you want the pudding to be snow-white, you'll need to scrape off the outer skin of the coconut flesh with a knife. This is quite quick. There's room for creativity: you can decorate it by drizzling honey and sprinkling a pinch of cinnamon or coconut flakes, or you can mix in frozen berries, either whole or crushed. Alternatively, you can use cups to pour the mixture into, and while it sets, prepare a crust in a food processor by mixing nuts and dates (for example, almonds and hazelnuts, or walnuts, at a ratio of 2 cups of nuts to 5 dates), press them into a thin crust, cut out round shapes with the same cup, and cool them in the freezer. Sticky mixtures like dates mashed into a paste, a thin layer of honey, or cashew paste work well for sticking the crust to the pudding. A topping made of almond paste with cinnamon would look very beautiful. Of course, you can also use ready-made coconut milk, although the fact that it can be stored in a can for a year raises some questions. However, if you do use canned milk, do not heat it — it may darken. It’s better to boil the agar in a small amount of water and then blend the agar broth with the coconut milk in a blender.

Ingredients

Coconut Urbech - 1 piece
Agar-Agar - 1 teaspoon
Stevia Extract - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Pierce the coconut with a corkscrew through one of its eyes — one of the eyes is soft. Drain the liquid into a blender, and add half of the flesh, which needs to be scraped out from the shell with a knife. Open the coconut with a hammer: you need to tap the nut firmly until it cracks. Visually divide the coconut into three parts between its poles and tap along the resulting two lines.

Step 2

Pour a teaspoon of agar-agar into a cup of water, let it sit for 10 minutes, then bring it to a boil, remove it from heat 30 seconds after boiling, and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Add the agar infusion to the blender, add 4-5 drops of stevia extract for the most diet-friendly option, although you can certainly use a teaspoon of honey. Blend the mixture in the blender, and you can add fresh soft fruit or frozen berries.

Step 4

Pour into beautiful molds: for example, silicone muffin molds, or glasses, crystal cups, or shot glasses, and cool in the refrigerator — half an hour is sufficient.
