Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, sugar, and cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- Cook Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Cool and Chill: Remove from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. Pour it into serving dishes, cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Stir constantly during cooking to prevent lumps and ensure even thickening.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer texture and flavor.
- For added flavor, you can include a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt.
- Serve topped with fresh fruit or toasted coconut for extra texture and taste.
