8 oz (about 3 cups) unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut
1 cup coconut milk
½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and coconut milk.
-
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to release from the bottom of the pan (about 8–10 minutes).
-
Stir in the heavy cream and remove from heat. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
-
Pour into individual serving glasses or bowls.
-
Serve at room temperature or chilled, as preferred.
Notes
-
This dessert can be served either warm or chilled depending on preference.
-
The pudding thickens as it cools, so it’s important to let it set before serving.
