In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and coconut cream. Stir well to create a smooth mixture.
Add the brown sugar to the coconut mixture, and turn the heat to medium. Stir constantly until the sugar completely dissolves, about 3-5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until a smooth slurry forms.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the coconut mixture while continuously stirring to avoid any lumps.
Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and gently bubble, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and add the vanilla extract and salt. Stir well to incorporate.
Pour the pudding into serving dishes or ramekins and let it cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, cover each dish with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
