👩🍳 How to Make Coconut Milk Pudding
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a saucepan (off heat), whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, and salt. This helps avoid clumping later.
Step 2: Add the Liquids
Gradually whisk in the coconut milk and water until fully combined and smooth.
Step 3: Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens. This usually takes about 6–8 minutes. Once it starts to bubble and coat the back of a spoon, it’s ready.
Step 4: Add Flavor and Cool
Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and pour the pudding into small serving bowls or ramekins.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. Serve chilled with your favorite toppings.
