Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp coconut extract
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
