This Healthy Coconut Pudding has 2 versions - with and without spices. The plain version doubles as a dairy-free whipped cream substitute!

1 cup additive-free coconut milk
4 teaspoons gelatin (use agar-agar for vegan option)
1 tablespoon honey (or low-carb alternative)
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (for spiced version only)
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom (use cinnamon for AIP--optional; for spiced version only)
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (omit for AIP--optional; for spiced version only)

In a small bowl, stir together ¼ cup coconut milk and the gelatin. This ensures the gelatin dissolves without clumps.
Heat the remaining coconut milk in a small saucepan. When simmering, whisk in the softened gelatin mixture. Whisk until dissolved.
Place in the fridge until set, at least 4 hours.
When gelatin is set, scoop it out into a food processor or blender.
Add the sweetener of your choice and the spices. Pureé until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust sweetener/spices, if needed.

Canned Coconut Milk Alternative: If you would rather not purchase coconut milk, you can make Easiest Coconut Milk.
Vegan option: If you are vegan, try organic agar agar powder instead.
Sweetener Alternatives: You can use stevia instead of honey for low carb. Try about 1 scoop stevia extract powder (read this post on how to use it) or 1/4 teaspoon of liquid stevia (see DIY Liquid Stevia). Adjust as needed.
Seasoning options: The seasonings can be can be omitted for a Plain Whipped Cream substitute.
