In a saucepan, pour the coconut milk and add the agar-agar.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
Once it reaches a boil, turn off the heat and add the protein powder and brown sugar, if using.
Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the mixture into ramekins or a container of your choice.
Place the ramekins in the refrigerator and let them chill until fully set and cold.
For a smoother texture, ensure you stir continuously while boiling the mixture.
