Ingredients

• Fresh pineapple - 200 grams, diced
• Coconut milk - 200 ml, light
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Agar-agar - 1 teaspoon
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Coconut sugar - 1 tablespoon (optional, for added sweetness)

Steps

1. In a small saucepan, combine the agar-agar with 100 ml of coconut milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
2. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring until the agar-agar dissolves completely.
3. In a blender, combine the remaining coconut milk, diced pineapple, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
4. Add the dissolved agar-agar mixture to the blender and blend again for 1 minute to ensure everything is well combined.
5. Pour the mixture into two individual serving cups or molds and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
6. Once set, carefully unmold the pudim by running a knife around the edges and inverting it onto a plate, or serve directly in the cups.
