Creamy Agar-agar pudding with Coconut & Half and Half Milk

Ingredients
Agar-agar Strands-12 (~~12grams)
Water-1/2cup
Sugar-1/2cup
Coconut milk powder-21/2tablespoons
Half & Half milk -1/2cup
Food color-few drops (optional)

Method
Cut the agar-agar into small pieces and soak them in half cup of water for 2-3 hours. ( or you can soak it overnight as I do).

Take the soaked agar-agar with the soaked water in a pan and start heating it.

Agar-agar will dissolve in water completely after 5-6 minutes on low heat.
Once the agar agar melts completely, add in the sugar and let it dissolve.

 Meanwhile, combine coconut milk powder, food color with half & half milk without any lumps.

Now reduce the heat, add the half & half, coconut milk mixture.
Heat it for couple of minutes, and switch off the flame.
Strain the mixture in a bowl. Pour it into desired shape containers and let it cool completely.

 Refrigerate it for couple of hours, creamy and delicious pudding is ready.

Take them out from the fridge, loosen the edges of the moulds using a small knife, squeeze the pudding out onto a tray and enjoy! :)

Note
Make sure that the agar-agar dissolves completely before adding it with any other taste enhancers.

Instead of using ice cube trays, you can use your choice of trays/bowl, let the pudding set & cut it into desired shapes.
