Tropical Coconut Pudding Delight

Ingredients

- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dry Mix
In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of cornstarch. Mix thoroughly to ensure the cornstarch disperses evenly with the sugar.

2. Heat the Milk
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of whole milk and 1 cup of coconut milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching. Bring it to a gentle simmer, which should take about 5 minutes.

3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually whisk the sugar-cornstarch mixture into the simmering milk, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken.

4. Incorporate Flavors
Stir in 3/4 cup of shredded coconut, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom into the thickened milk mixture. Continue stirring for another 2-3 minutes.

5. Cook and Thicken
Lower the heat to medium-low and continue stirring the mixture for an additional 4-5 minutes or until it becomes thick and creamy. The pudding should coat the back of a spoon without running off.

6. Remove from Heat
Once the desired consistency is achieved, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes.

7. Chill the Pudding
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins. Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled and set.

8. Serve and Enjoy
Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of additional shredded coconut and a pinch of ground cinnamon, if desired. Enjoy your Tropical Coconut Pudding Delight as a refreshing and creamy dessert!
