I just made this dessert today and it truly turned out superb. The only one issue I had with it was how to decorate it to really give it it's due credit as one of the leading contenders in the yummiest desserts in the planet race. I wanted to put some strawberries or pomegranate to the pristine milky smooth layer of dessert but I felt like the tangy nature of the fruit would sort of ruin the delicate flavour of my precious. So I decided to leave it as is. What is a great idea to out however, is sugar flowers in pink or lavender which will really make these look as beautiful as they should.
This dessert is not a killer on the calories either, even though it does have condensed milk.
Ingredients:
You have to ask your coconut vendor for coconut with sweet water and thin "malai." You need two such coconuts
1/2 can condensed milk
1/4 cup gelatin powder
You will also need a gas stove, a strainer, a hand blender and the skills required to open up a coconut and scrape the malai out yourself (you can outsource these skills as well), loads of ice. I like to set this in Individual bowls because it's easier to eat then but you can set it in one big bowl as well.

Method:
- Take the gelatin and soak it in 1 cup room temperature water and keep aside
- Take a large steel vessel, put the water and "malai" of the two coconuts into the vessel
- Add half the can of condensed milk and whizz up with a hand blender until everything is a united thick mass of deliciousness
- Take a break to have like 4 - 5 spoons to "make sure it tastes alright"
- Take a larger flat plate or thaali and fill it with ice
- Place the vessel of coconut heaven on the ice and keep aside for a bit
- Put the vessel with gelatin on the stove and heat on medium till the gelatin has melted
- Take a strainer and pour the gelatin through the strainer into the cold coconut mixture and quickly whizz it all together on the ice
- Pour into individual moulds and put into the fridge to set
You can have this almost everyday, it's so light to eat and I always feel like i'm eating clouds when I eat this. Love it!
