Ingredients

• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 200 ml Whole milk
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 35 g Cornstarch
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 30 g Unsalted butter
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 50 g Sweetened shredded coconut
• 200 ml Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
• 20 g Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of the milk mixture until smooth and set aside.

Step 3

In another small bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks.

Step 4

Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, whisking continuously to avoid lumps, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook until the mixture starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Temper the egg yolks by slowly adding a ladleful of the hot pudding mixture to the yolks while stirring constantly. Then pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan, stirring continuously.

Step 6

Cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, or until thickened to a pudding-like consistency. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and sweetened shredded coconut until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Transfer the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and chill for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 9

Just before serving, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pudding to create a fluffy texture.

Step 10

Spoon the Fluffy Coconut Dream Pudding into serving dishes, garnish with toasted coconut flakes if desired, and enjoy!
