Coconut Pudding
Coconut Pudding is a creamy, tropical dessert made with coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, butter, egg yolks, and coconut extract. Cooked until thick and chilled to perfection, it's a luscious treat that brings a taste of the tropics to any meal.
Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 egg yolks
- ⅓ cups white sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, butter, egg yolks, and coconut extract.
- Cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it thickens, which should take about 4 to 7 minutes.
- Divide the pudding into individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved in the coconut milk before heating to avoid lumps. A smooth mixture will result in a creamier pudding.
- For an extra depth of flavor, toast the coconut flakes lightly before using them as a garnish.
