- Mixing bowl
- Heatproof spatula
- Serving dishes
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, butter, egg yolks, and coconut extract over medium heat.
- Continuously whisk as the mixture heats, ensuring it stays smooth and lump-free.
- Cook for about 4 to 7 minutes until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Once thickened, immediately remove from heat and pour the pudding into individual serving dishes.
- Allow it to cool slightly before transferring to the refrigerator.
- Chill for at least 15 to 20 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Notes
- For extra coconut flavor, toast shredded coconut and sprinkle it on top before serving.
- Using room-temperature egg yolks prevents them from curdling when added to the warm mixture.
- Stirring constantly is key to preventing lumps and ensuring a silky-smooth pudding.
- If you prefer a firmer texture, let the pudding chill longer, about an hour, for a denser consistency
