Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt, ensuring there are no lumps before adding liquids. This prevents clumps in your pudding.
  2. Add Coconut Milk and Heat: Gradually pour in the coconut milk while continuously whisking. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
  3. Cook Until Thickened: Continue cooking and stirring for 5-8 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a creamy pudding consistency. It’s ready when it coats the back of a spoon smoothly.
  4. Remove from Heat and Add Vanilla: Take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract to lock in the aroma and enhance flavor.
  5. Chill and Serve: Pour the pudding into serving dishes or bowls, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent skin formation, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for richer, creamier pudding.
  • Whisk constantly during cooking to avoid lumps and ensure smooth texture.
  • Press plastic wrap directly on pudding’s surface while chilling to prevent skin formation.
  • Taste the mixture before chilling and adjust sugar gradually as needed.
  • Using room temperature coconut milk helps pudding thicken evenly without separation.
