    • MILO Coconut Milk Pudding (Easy) 巧克力椰汁糕

    What Is MILO? 

    Milo is a malted chocolate-flavoured premixed beverage powder product produced by Nestlé. This premixed drink mix consists of four main ingredients: malted barley, milk powder, sugar and cocoa powder. MILO is also high in calcium, iron and B Vitamins.

    Is MILO vegan?

    Classic MILO is not vegan since it contains milk powder. Opt for MILO Plant-Based Energy - a delicious dairy alternative with the iconic choc-malt taste with added fibre to support healthy digestion and gut health.

    Ingredients and Substitutes  

    Making an easy dessert with coconut milk is effortless, whips up quickly, and is customizable!

    If you are wondering if you can use coconut milk to make pudding, the answer is YES! Full-fat coconut milk makes a luscious dessert! The creamy pudding turns out super silky and velvety! 

    The beauty of this easy vegan coconut milk dessert is that it is egg free - no egg whites or egg yolks. A cornstarch mixture is not even required!

    All the ingredients can be purchased at your local grocery stores or online.

    • Full-Fat Coconut Milk
    • Drinking Water (previously boiled or filtered water)
    • Agar Agar Powder (Vegan) or Gelatin Powder
    • MILO premix beverage

    Optional Toppings

    • Fresh Fruit
    • Tapioca Pearls
    • Sago
    • Coconut Flakes

    Malt Chocolate Coconut Pudding vs Chia Pudding

    Classic Chinese coconut milk pudding is very different compared to chia pudding. 

    Chia pudding is gloppy, while quick coconut milk dessert resembles a smooth coconut jelly.

    If you are looking for a quick sweet treat, this vegan Blueberry Oatmilk Chia Seed Pudding is a healthy snack!

    How To Make Chinese Coconut Milk Pudding

    Add cold water to a large bowl, followed by Gelatin powder. Agar Agar powder is an excellent plant-based vegan substitute. Mix well with a whisk to dissolve.

    Add a can of full-fat coconut milk to the liquid mixture. To create a creamy texture, you can also mix a can of coconut cream with a can of unsweetened light coconut milk. Mix well with a whisk to combine. 

    Add MILO powder to the coconut milk mixture. Mix well until dissolved. I like to use an immersion blender or a handheld milk frother to blend the malty chocolate powder for the best results. 

    Pour the eggless coconut pudding mixture into a small saucepan and heat over low heat. Combine and melt the Gelatin powder. Do not bring it to a boil. As long as the thickening agent fully dissolves. 

    Lightly grease the mould with vegetable oil or line it with plastic wrap. This will help you remove the pudding from the mould later.

    Pour the liquid into a mould or pyrex glass container. Let the liquid cool down. 

    Place the whole thing in the refrigerator to set it overnight.

    Serve and enjoy this delicious Chinese coconut jelly dessert cold. There is no added sugar. In fact, most easy Asian desserts do not contain much sugar at all! 

    Consider serving this quick coconut cream dessert with favorite fruits, chocolate shavings or toasted coconut flakes.

    Variations

    Canned coconut milk recipes are versatile and customizable with your favourite flavours.

    • Silky mango pudding desserts with coconut milk 
    • Layered coconut milk pudding with coconut water or cocoa powder
    • Layered coconut milk pudding with Pandan jelly
    • Drizzle evaporated milk for extra creaminess  

    Two-Layered Coconut Milk Pudding

    If you plan to make a two-layered coconut milk pudding with different flavours, fill half the container with a coconut milk base. Set in the refrigerator overnight.

    The next day, make another batch of coconut milk pudding and add your favourite flavours, such as cocoa powder or fresh mango fruit puree. 

    Pour over previously chilled coconut pudding. It is best to pour the liquid over the back of a spoon. This will prevent denting the previously chilled pudding. Let cool to room temperature. 

    Place the whole thing in the refrigerator to set it overnight.

    How Long Does Coconut Pudding Last?

    Next time before you reach for that sugary drink or that box of store-bought chocolate chip cookies, consider this low-carb, dairy-free dessert instead.

    For good measure, I highly recommend making a big batch of easy pudding to store in the refrigerator in an airtight storage container. The thick coconut milk jelly pudding will last a couple of days chilled.

    What To Serve With Healthy Coconut Desserts

    Asian cakes and desserts are a great way to end a meal. 

    • Vegan Blueberry Lemon Nice Cream 
    • Dried Scallops Egg White Fried Rice 瑤柱蛋白炒飯
    • Chinese Braised Eggplant 紅燒茄子
    • Vegan Tofu Stir Fry
    • Water Chestnut Cake 黃金馬蹄糕
    • Easy Chinese Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Thighs 氣炸鍋豉油雞
    • Air Fryer Bean Curd Sheets with Baby Bok Choy

    Easy desserts made with just a few simple ingredients and natural sweetness are a delicious way to nail your family dinner gathering or afternoon tea party!

    I guarantee that this will become one of your favorite desserts!

      Hey there! I just had to drop a line and express how much I adored your post on the MILO Coconut Milk Pudding. The way you described the smooth texture and heavenly coconut flavor had my taste buds doing a happy dance! Your attention to detail in highlighting the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess was spot on.
