Coconut Pudding

This Coconut Pudding is a creamy, dairy-free delight that captures the tropical essence of coconut in every spoonful. Perfectly sweetened with natural ingredients, it serves as a refreshing dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

• Coconut milk - 400 ml
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Maple syrup - 3 tablespoons
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - a pinch
• Shredded coconut - 2 tablespoons (for garnish)
• Fresh fruit (mango or berries) - 100 grams (for topping, optional)

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, combine 300 ml of coconut milk, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the remaining 100 ml of coconut milk. Stir well to combine.
4. Pour the pudding into two serving bowls or ramekins. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
5. Refrigerate the pudding for at least 1 hour until set.
6. Before serving, garnish with shredded coconut and fresh fruit if desired.
