Step 2: Cook the Pudding
1️⃣ Place the saucepan over medium heat and start stirring continuously.
2️⃣ As the mixture warms up, keep whisking to prevent lumps or burning.
3️⃣ After about 5–7 minutes, the pudding will start to thicken.
4️⃣ Once the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency (similar to custard), remove it from the heat.
📌 Tip: If the pudding is too thick, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
Step 3: Add Flavor & Chill
1️⃣ Stir in the vanilla extract after removing the pudding from heat.
2️⃣ Pour the pudding into serving bowls or ramekins.
3️⃣ Cover with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
4️⃣ Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
📌 Tip: If you love warm pudding, you can enjoy it straight away instead of chilling!
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
1️⃣ Once chilled, give the pudding a gentle stir before serving.
2️⃣ Top with toasted coconut flakes, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.
3️⃣ Serve and enjoy this smooth, tropical treat!
📌 Tip: You can also blend the pudding for an extra-smooth, mousse-like texture before chilling.
