This is my choice of dessert after dinner at a Chinese restaurant. As an ingredient, the coconut milk gives the pudding a rich taste. This recipe is egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free and cane-sugar free.

- 5. Place pot on low heat.
- 6. Add Nuvia Sweetener (adjust to sweetness of mango puree) and sea salt into the pot and stir until they are dissolved.
- 7. Add the agar-agar mixture and stir.
- 8. Continue stirring for another 8–10 minutes until mixture thickens.
- 9. Remove from heat.

- 11. Allow pudding to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
