luscious chocolate coconut pudding
This pudding is divine!! So rich, creamy and chocolatey you will LOVE it! The name is a little deceiving because it does not have a strong coconut flavor at all, so if you wanted to taste coconut I recommend using a splash of coconut extract! Top with some homemade whipped cream and toasted coconut and your in heaven!

How To Make luscious chocolate coconut pudding
-
Step 1Shake up or stir the coconut milk really well. In a heavy saucepan heat 1 1/4 c. coconut milk, sugar, coconut cream, and salt on low until it just starts to simmer.
-
Step 2While that is heating, in a separate bowl whisk together remaining coconut milk, cornstarch, and cocoa powder until well combined.
-
Step 3When the milk and cream mixture begins to simmer take about 1/4 c. and whisk it little by little into the cornstarch mixture.
-
Step 4Turn burner down to the lowest setting. While continuously whisking, slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the simmering coconut milk mixture.
-
Step 5Keep whisking until the pudding comes back up to a simmer or starts to thicken up a bit. About a minute or two.
-
Step 6Remove the pudding from the heat but keep whisking. Whisk in chocolate and vanilla and keep stirring until the pudding is smooth.
-
Step 7Pour pudding into a serving dish and cover with plastic wrap, lightly pressing the top of it against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin forming. Place in refrigerator to chill. Or serve warm.
-
Step 8Stir well and serve with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkled with toasted coconut flakes.
