How to make Apricot coconut white chocolate pudding

  1. Set a heatproof medium bowl over a pan of gently simmering water and melt the white chocolate, stirring continuously until smooth.

  2. Once melted, slowly stir in the kefir, followed by the chia seeds, coconut flakes, and chopped apricots.

  3. Scrape the chocolate and kefir mixture into four small glasses. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

  4. In a saucepan, combine the coconut sugar and water, then melt over low heat, stirring gently.

  5. Meanwhile, place the pecans in a microwave-safe dish and microwave for 20–30 seconds until slightly warmed.

  6. Once the sugar mixture is completely melted and begins to simmer, add the pecans and remove the pan from the heat.

  7. Stir the pecans constantly until the mixture thickens and the pecans are evenly coated.

  8. Spread the pecans out on a plate and allow them to cool completely.

  9. To serve, garnish each glass with sliced red plums, dried apricots, candied pecans, edible flowers, and additional toasted coconut flakes.
