Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml low-fat coconut milk
- 200 ml skim milk
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 grams shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the low-fat coconut milk and skim milk. Stir well to blend the two kinds of milk.
Over medium heat, gradually add the granulated sugar and a pinch of salt, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water to make a smooth paste.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch paste into the milk mixture on the stovetop.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, constantly stirring, until it begins to thicken. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Be patient and do not leave it unattended to prevent sticking or burning.
Once thickened, reduce the heat to low, add in the vanilla extract and shredded unsweetened coconut, and stir for another 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the pudding to individual serving bowls.
Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with a sprinkle of additional shredded coconut on top for extra texture and flavor.
