Coconut Milk Vanilla Pudding
Most puddings call for whole milk. I don’t know about you, but that’s not something I have on hand in the fridge. I do however always seem to have evaporated milk and unsweetened coconut milk in the pantry. I used these pantry staples to make this yummy vanilla pudding. Try it with our adorable and easy-to-make Teddy Bears at the beach dessert or top with sliced strawberries or bananas for a yummy dessert.
​
Ingredients:
​
-
1 – 13.66 oz. can unsweetened coconut milk
-
1 – 12 oz. can evaporated milk
-
2 eggs
-
1 egg yolk
-
¾ cup granulated sugar (you can also substitute coconut sugar)
-
3 Tablespoons corn starch
-
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
-
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
-
3 Tablespoons unsalted cold butter cut into small pieces
How to make it:
-
In a 3 quart saucepan whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
-
Add in the eggs and egg yolk and whisk to combine.
-
Add in the evaporated milk and the unsweetened coconut milk and whisk to combine. Coconut milk often will separate in the can. Whisk until your mixture is smooth.
-
Place your saucepan over medium-high heat and stir constantly until your mixture thickens to pudding consistency. You will notice your mixture start to thicken in about 5 minutes.
-
Take your pudding off the heat and whisk in your chilled butter.
-
Place your pudding in a container and cover with plastic wrap, gently placing the plastic directly on top of the pudding. This will keep your pudding from forming a skin.
Homemade pudding tastes sooo yummy! Makes 8 – ½ cup servings
