Coconut Almond Pudding is a creamy and delightful dessert that perfectly balances the rich flavors of coconut and the nutty undertones of almond. This pudding isn’t only a treat for the taste buds but also a visually appealing dish that can be served at any gathering or enjoyed as a comforting snack.
The combination of coconut milk and almond extract creates a luscious texture that will leave everyone wanting more. This recipe is simple to prepare, making it ideal for both novice and experienced cooks. The pudding can be made ahead of time and chilled, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Topped with slivered almonds and a sprinkle of toasted coconut, this dessert is both elegant and satisfying, making it a perfect addition to any meal or a sweet ending to a special occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Pinch of salt
- Slivered almonds (for garnish)
- Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, continuously whisking to prevent clumping. Bring it to a gentle boil, and continue to stir for about 5-7 minutes until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix well to guarantee the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the pudding.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Allow it to cool for a few minutes at room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- When ready to serve, garnish each portion with slivered almonds and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor. Enjoy your delightful Coconut Almond Pudding!
Extra Tips:
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of coconut extract along with the vanilla and almond extracts. You can also customize the toppings by adding fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey. If you prefer a sweeter pudding, feel free to adjust the sugar to your taste.
This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, making it a great make-ahead dessert option.
