In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk and whole milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the milk mixture is warm but not boiling.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of the warm milk mixture to form a smooth slurry with no lumps.
Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan with the milk mixture. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue cooking the pudding mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a custard-like consistency. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the raisins, desiccated coconut, and butter. Mix until the butter is fully melted and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or ramekins. Allow it to cool slightly at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of desiccated coconut or a few extra raisins before serving.
