I know that I've been advocating for homemade puddings, but I think I might have to draw the line at this one:
I like the part about removing discolored pieces. No one wants wrongfully colored moss bits in their parfait dish.
Sea moss must have a gelatinous quality, given that their are no eggs, corn starch, or other thickeners in the pudding.
Here's a delicious looking picture. It does look pretty gelatinous to me.
I wanted to know more about sea moss desserts, and so I Googled it. (Viva la Google!)
This provider's page includes a puzzling comment. It says that when rinsing the moss you shouldn't leave it in water too long or it will lose nutrients. Think about it. The stuff GROWS in water. How could rinsing it remove nutrients?
Another online article says "Most Caribbean men are not afraid to admit that sea moss is one of their secrets to sexual potency and virility."
Apparently there's more to this recipe than meets the eye...
