Absolutely! You can easily make this dessert the previous day and store the coconut pudding and pineapple jelly separately in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
How long does this dessert last?
If stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, this dessert stays fresh for up to 2-3 days easily.
Can I make the jelly with any other fruit?
