Take the coconut milk from the fridge, put the solid part in a bowl and whisk with the rods until it is whipped. Reserve in the fridge.

Put the water in a saucepan, add the agar-agar and stir until it dissolves. Heat over medium heat, stirring, and when the water starts to boil, let it cook for 1 minute.
Step 6
Add the yogurt, lemon and sugar mixture and let boil for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
Step 7
After this time, remove from the heat and let it sit for 2 minutes.
Step 8
After this time, incorporate the coconut milk little by little and mix everything carefully, with enveloping movements.
