Notes

Keep your Coconut Orange Glow perfectly chilled in the refrigerator, covered loosely, for up to 3-4 days to maintain its exquisite texture and bright, fresh flavors.
For the creamiest results, truly embrace the "overnight" chill for your coconut milk cans; this ensures maximum separation of the thick, rich cream needed for your dreamy filling.
When preparing the filling, make sure the agar-agar powder is thoroughly dissolved and gently boiled for a minute or two as instructed; this guarantees your dessert sets beautifully and isn't too soft.
Elevate your chilled dessert by garnishing just before serving with fresh orange segments and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for an extra pop of texture and elegant presentation.
