Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 200 ml Whole milk
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 35 g Cornstarch
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 30 g Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 50 g Sweetened shredded coconut
- 200 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 20 g Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of the milk mixture until smooth and set aside.
In another small bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks.
Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, whisking continuously to avoid lumps, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook until the mixture starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Temper the egg yolks by slowly adding a ladleful of the hot pudding mixture to the yolks while stirring constantly. Then pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan, stirring continuously.
Cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, or until thickened to a pudding-like consistency. Remove from heat.
Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and sweetened shredded coconut until fully incorporated.
Transfer the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and chill for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Just before serving, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pudding to create a fluffy texture.
Spoon the Fluffy Coconut Dream Pudding into serving dishes, garnish with toasted coconut flakes if desired, and enjoy!
