Perfect for summer gatherings or as a sweet ending to any meal, this dessert is sure to impress your family and friends. The preparation is simple and requires minimal ingredients, making it a quick option for those who want to whip up a tasty treat without spending hours in the kitchen.
With its luscious texture and vibrant flavors, Coconut Pineapple Pudding isn’t only a feast for the palate but also for the eyes, as it can be easily garnished with fresh pineapple or toasted coconut for added appeal.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, crushed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
- Fresh pineapple chunks (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, crushed pineapple, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk the mixture until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the ingredients are well blended. This step is essential for achieving a smooth pudding texture.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and continuously stir the mixture as it heats. It’s important to keep stirring to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan and to guarantee even cooking.
- Once the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, still stirring constantly. The pudding should have a creamy consistency by this point.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the milk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. This will help to lighten the pudding and enhance the flavor with the aromatic vanilla.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the dishes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set properly.
- Before serving, garnish the pudding with toasted coconut flakes and fresh pineapple chunks for an extra touch of tropical flair. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Extra Tips:
For an added depth of flavor, consider using coconut cream instead of coconut milk for a richer taste and creamier texture. If you want to enhance the tropical vibe, you can also add a splash of rum or coconut rum to the mixture before cooking.
For those who prefer a vegan option, substitute regular milk with almond milk or any other plant-based milk of your choice.
Enjoy this delightful dessert as an invigorating treat anytime!
