Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 cups unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream)

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients and heat: In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and coconut milk. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for 10–15 minutes until the mixture thickens and starts pulling away from the sides of the pan, ensuring it does not burn.
  2. Add heavy cream: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut cream thoroughly until the pudding becomes smooth and creamy. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the pudding to cool slightly.
  3. Let pudding thicken: Allow the pudding to sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes. This resting period helps the pudding to firm up further to the perfect consistency.
  4. Portion the pudding: Pour the thickened pudding into individual serving glasses or dessert cups, preparing it for serving.
  5. Serve and garnish: Serve the pudding at room temperature or chilled based on preference. Optionally, garnish with toasted coconut flakes, a sprinkle of lime zest, or fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • You can substitute butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream to make this dessert completely vegan-friendly.
  • To toast coconut flakes, spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes until golden brown.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a less sweet version, reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk by 1/4 cup.
