This pudding forms the base of many desserts in Kerala and I have had it in many forms during my childhood. I My sister first mentioned this Eggless condensed milk pudding to me saying that my niece made it for her Jain friend because she can’t take eggs in her diet. The thickener of choice in this pudding is China grass or agar agar. It’s a plant-based thickener derived from some form of algae (I wouldn’t investigate too much into this if I were you) and is a vegetarian substitute for gelatin used most commonly in desserts as a thickening agent. Because of where China grass is derived from, this pudding is also called mousse pudding or moss pudding in Kerala! Interesting trivia. The pudding is best served with some topping and praline is the best fit, although some chocolate sauce or ganache would taste fab too. You can make it as sweet or subtle as you want, its completely up to you.

This Kerala tender coconut pudding is another popular pudding recipe from my home state. This eggless condensed milk pudding recipe is adapted from a recipe verbally passed on to me, all measurements are my own. Do note, if you try to un mould the pudding before giving it time to sit, it will look all haphazard like my picture but it’s still delicious!

You can layer it up with praline, jam, chocolate sauce, etc. You can also half the final mixture, add cocoa powder to one half and set it in alternating layers too.
