An agar based pudding, with flavors from cashew nuts and coconut milk.
The weather is getting warm outside and it is the perfect time to make this refreshing, cold dessert. Agar based pudding are my favorite, and I particularly love having it during the summers. Since Eid is coming in two days, I have kept this pudding ready in my fridge.
My co-sister Zerveen had made this pudding for us when we visited India last year and I loved it. As I was trying to get ideas for Eid dessert recipes, this pudding came in my mind. I asked her for the recipe and she was too kind to share it with me immediately. Thank you Zervee. She herself is a very talented baker. She has a page in Instagram named AmysCakeBake and she takes orders for her cakes. She is based in Bangalore, India now and if anyone is looking for delicious cakes there, her page is the place to order from.
This pudding can be made completely in milk, if you don’t want to add coconut milk. I added half of both as my daughter is very allergic to dairy and so I didn’t want to make it fully dairy based. Next time I am planning to use coconut milk completely.
Hope you have a lovely Eid (if you are celebrating). Make this pudding and thank me later. 😀
