Ingredients

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, add the coconut milk, white sugar, cornstarch, butter, egg yolks, and coconut extract. Stir gently to mix all ingredients together before gently heating.
  2. Cook and Thicken: Cook the mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps and curdling. Continue whisking until the pudding thickens, which should take approximately 4 to 7 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon and have a smooth consistency.
  3. Chill the Pudding: Once thickened, remove the pudding from heat and pour into individual serving dishes. Allow to cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 15 to 20 minutes to set and chill before serving, enhancing the flavors and texture.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the richest flavor and creamiest texture.
  • Constant whisking is essential to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth pudding.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil or margarine.
  • Adjust the sugar amount according to your preferred level of sweetness.
  • Serve topped with toasted coconut flakes or fresh fruit for added texture.
