This Avocado Agar Agar Pudding has three beautiful layers of fresh avocado, milk, and chocolate. Lightly sweet with a smooth, tender, and pleasantly bouncy texture, this refreshing no-bake dessert is easy to prepare and perfect for warm days.
Blend the ripe avocados in a food processor with some milk to make it easier and smoother. Set aside for later use.
Put agar-agar powder, sugar, and milk in a sauce pan. Heat it with low to medium heat until it simmers. Turn off the stove once it simmers, set aside for a few minutes. Pour into the avocado puree and mix well with a spatula.
Sieve through the avocado batter, so you have a smooth mixture. Pour into the mold, about two-thirds of the mold. Put them in a chiller, while you make the second layer.
Now for the milk layer, put in agar-agar powder, sugar, and milk in a sauce pan. Put on low to medium heat until it simmers.
In a mixing bowl, whip the egg white until it is stiff. Slowly pour in the agar-agar mixture into the meringue while still mixing it with low speed. Mix well until combined thoroughly.
Take out the avocado pudding, pour in the milk layer, around one-third of the height. Chill the puddings while you prepare the chocolate layer.
Now, let's make the chocolate layer. Put in agar-agar powder, cocoa powder, sugar, and milk in a sauce pan and put on low to medium heat until it simmers. Beat the egg yolk. When the chocolate mixture simmers, take two tablespoons of the chocolate and mix into the egg yolk.
Pour back the egg yolk mixture into the chocolate batter. Stir well. Keep it on low heat until you see it thickens. Turn off the stove. Sieve it through. Pour into the pudding mold until it is full. Chill the puddings until set. Take out from the mold and you have your pretty pudding.

Notes
NEVER cook the avocados with the agar agar mixture, it will turn out bitter. Only put in the avocado after the agar agar mixture is off the stove and a little bit warm to the touch.
Spray the mold with cold water before you pour the pudding mixture in. This makes it easier to take out from the mold once the pudding sets.
Sieve only the avocado agar agar pudding and chocolate agar agar pudding so you have a smooth mixture. The milk layer does not need to be sifted.
Agar-agar powder makes the pudding set quite fast, so you only have to put in the chiller for a while. When it is hard enough to touch, it is alright to pour in the next layer. If it is too hard, the layers will be easily off when you serve it.
Use a big mold if you want to make it quicker.
NEVER leave the agar agar mixture on the stove. Keep stirring until it simmers.
