Ingredients
- 400 ml low-fat coconut milk
- 200 ml skim milk
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 grams shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the low-fat coconut milk and skim milk. Stir well to blend the two kinds of milk.
Step 2
Over medium heat, gradually add the granulated sugar and a pinch of salt, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water to make a smooth paste.
Step 4
Slowly whisk the cornstarch paste into the milk mixture on the stovetop.
Step 5
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, constantly stirring, until it begins to thicken. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Be patient and do not leave it unattended to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 6
Once thickened, reduce the heat to low, add in the vanilla extract and shredded unsweetened coconut, and stir for another 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the pudding to individual serving bowls.
Step 8
Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Step 9
Before serving, optionally garnish with a sprinkle of additional shredded coconut on top for extra texture and flavor.
