Ingredients

• 1 cup canned crushed pineapple (in juice, unsweetened)
• 1 cup coconut milk (light)
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons toasted shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 cup pineapple chunks (optional, for garnish)
• 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and sugar to eliminate any lumps.

Step 2

Slowly add the low-fat milk and light coconut milk to the saucepan, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth mixture.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Once the mixture thickens, reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract and the canned crushed pineapple (with juice). Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to evenly combine the flavors.

Step 5

Remove the pudding from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Divide the pudding evenly among 4 small serving cups or bowls.

Step 7

Cover the cups with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.

Step 8

Before serving, garnish each pudding cup with a sprinkle of toasted shredded coconut, a few pineapple chunks, and a fresh mint leaf, if desired.

Step 9

Serve cold and enjoy your tropical, low-fat treat!
