Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Cook Pudding: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Simmer Briefly: Continue to cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes once thickened, stirring continuously to prevent sticking or burning.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the pudding from heat and pour it into serving dishes. Allow it to cool to room temperature before covering and refrigerating for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the coconut pudding as a refreshing dessert on its own or with a garnish such as toasted coconut flakes or fresh fruit if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
- Stir constantly to avoid lumps and scorching.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less sugar.
- To veganize further, ensure sugar used is vegan-friendly.
- Can be garnished with fresh mango, toasted nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for variation.
