Ingredients
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 egg yolks
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp butter
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the coconut milk, white sugar, cornstarch, butter, egg yolks, and coconut extract until well combined.
- Cook the Mixture: Continuously whisk the mixture over medium heat for 4 to 7 minutes, until it thickens to a pudding consistency, making sure to prevent lumps and sticking to the pan.
- Chill the Pudding: Once thickened, divide the pudding evenly into individual serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 15 to 20 minutes to allow the pudding to fully set and cool before serving.
Notes
- Whisk continuously while cooking to avoid lumps and scorching.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
- Ensure the pudding has cooled completely before serving for the best texture.
- Can be garnished with toasted coconut flakes or fresh fruit for added texture and flavor.
