Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 250 ml whole milk
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 30 g cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 50 g shredded coconut
- 20 g optional: toasted coconut flakes for garnish
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk and whole milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture, stirring occasionally, until just combined, about 2-3 minutes. Do not bring it to a boil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the warmed milk in the saucepan, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and bubble, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Once the pudding has thickened, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Pour the pudding into individual serving cups or a single large serving dish.
Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or until it is fully set and chilled.
Before serving, optionally garnish with toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
Serve chilled and enjoy your luscious homemade coconut pudding.
