- 2 teaspoons bicarbonate soda
- 2 cup sugar
- 1 tin coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS
- Melt sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat, taking care not to burn the sugar.
- Slowly add coconut cream to the melted sugar, one tablespoon at a time, stirring it in well after each addition.

- Test if fully cooked with a skewer inserted into the middle of pudding and return to stovetop if necessary.
