  • 20 oz plain, nonfat yogurt or vanilla soy yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (omit if using vanilla soy yogurt)
  • 1 Tbs coconut rum (optional)
  • 1/3 cup shredded coconut

Directions

  • Combine coconut milk, honey and agar in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat stirring frequently until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in yogurt, vanilla, rum and coconut. Refrigerate until well-chilled, at least 1 hour.
