Chef’s Insight
To achieve the perfect mouthfeel, ensure that the pudding is neither too runny nor overly thick. The whipped coconut cream should be light and airy while still maintaining its richness.
Notes
Be sure to use fresh palm nuts for the best flavor and texture. The pudding can also be prepared in advance and refrigerated until ready to serve.
