Ingredients

Scale

Main 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. Prepare the Cooking Mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter (or coconut oil) over medium heat until fully melted. This will help add richness and a smooth texture to the pudding.
  2. Add Dairy and Coconut: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, coconut milk, and heavy cream (or coconut cream) into the melted butter. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  3. Cook the Pudding: Continue cooking the mixture on medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning, for about 10 to 15 minutes until the mixture thickens to a creamy pudding consistency and the coconut is soft but still offers a slight chew.
  4. Cool the Pudding: Once thickened, remove the pudding from heat and transfer it to a serving dish or individual ramekins. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and develop flavors further.
  5. Serve: Serve the pudding chilled as a refreshing and decadent dessert. Optionally, top with toasted shredded coconut or a light dusting of cinnamon for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • You can substitute butter with coconut oil to make the recipe dairy-free.
  • Using coconut cream instead of heavy cream intensifies the coconut flavor and makes it suitable for a vegan version when combined with plant-based condensed milk alternatives.
  • Stir constantly while cooking to avoid sticking and burning on the bottom of the pan.
  • Refrigeration helps the pudding set and improves texture and flavor.
  • For a less sweet version, reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk or use unsweetened condensed coconut milk.
