This pudding can be served warm or chilled, making it a versatile option for a dessert. Topped with shredded coconut or whipped cream, it transforms into an elegant dish that will impress your guests. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply want to enjoy a delicious treat at home, this Chocolate Coconut Pudding is sure to become a favorite.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)
- Whipped cream (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, whole milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined. Make sure there are no lumps from the cocoa powder or cornstarch.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk the mixture constantly. As it heats, the pudding will begin to thicken, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil, as this can affect the texture.
- Once the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. This will enhance the flavors and make the pudding even more aromatic.
- Pour the pudding into serving cups or bowls and let it cool for a few minutes at room temperature. If you prefer to serve it chilled, cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, garnish the pudding with shredded coconut and a dollop of whipped cream if desired. This adds a nice touch of texture and extra flavor.
Extra Tips:
To enhance the chocolate flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to the pudding mix. This will deepen the chocolate notes without adding a coffee taste.
You can also experiment with different types of milk, such as almond or oat milk, for a dairy-free alternative.
For a fun twist, try adding a layer of chocolate ganache on top of the pudding before garnishing, making it an even more indulgent dessert!
