Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 50 grams Rice flour
- 30 grams Tapioca flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 200 ml Water
- 2 Pandan leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, and water until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt. If using pandan leaves, tie them into a knot and add them to the saucepan for an aromatic flavor. Stir constantly until the sugar and salt dissolve completely, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually pour the flour mixture into the saucepan, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring as the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Step 5
Once the mixture reaches a thick custard-like consistency, remove it from the heat and discard the pandan leaves (if used).
Step 6
Carefully pour the pudding into small serving bowls or ramekins. Smooth the tops with a spoon or spatula.
Step 7
Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Step 8
Serve the Thai Coconut Pudding Custard chilled, optionally garnished with fresh fruits or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
