Recipe for a Delicious Coconut Dessert

Creamy Coconut Pudding (Easy Dessert Cups)

Ingredients

• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 cup whole milk (or use more coconut milk for a richer coconut flavor)
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 cup cornstarch (for thickening)
• 1/2 cup grated coconut (plus extra for topping)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. Combine the base ingredients.
   In a saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and cornstarch until fully smooth and lump-free.

2. Cook until thickened.
   Place the pan over medium heat and stir continuously so the mixture doesn’t clump or stick. Keep cooking and stirring until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.

3. Add coconut (and vanilla).
   Stir in the grated coconut and, if using, the vanilla extract.

4. Portion and chill.
   Pour the hot pudding into small dessert cups or bowls. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2–3 hours until set.

5. Garnish and serve.
   Before serving, top with extra shredded or grated coconut for decoration.
