Coconut Pudding Dessert Directions:
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan or forming lumps.
Step 2: Cook the Mixture
As the mixture heats up, it will gradually thicken into a creamy pudding-like texture. Stir regularly to ensure an even consistency. This can take about 5-7 minutes. If the pudding is too thin, simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes. If it’s too thick, add a splash of coconut milk or water to adjust the consistency.
Step 3: Enhance with Coconut and Vanilla
Once the pudding reaches your desired thickness, reduce the heat and stir in the grated coconut. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to infuse the coconut flavor. Stir in vanilla extract for an aromatic flavor.
Step 4: Chill and Set
Pour the warm pudding into individual bowls or one large serving dish. Let it cool slightly at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2-3 hours or until it sets and becomes firm.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Just before serving, sprinkle more grated coconut on top for added texture and visual appeal. You can also garnish with fresh mint leaves for extra color. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, coconut-flavored dessert.
