Creamy Coconut Pudding

By kas_9232

This simple, classic coconut pudding is traditionally thickened with rice kernels. A small amount of rice flour creates the perfect creamy texture in this version. For a special touch, garnish the top with a sprinkle of shredded coconut and cinnamon just before serving.

Preparation

Step 1

COMBINE sugar and water in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in coconut milk and 1 cup evaporated milk. Whisk remaining 1/2 cup evaporated milk, rice flour and egg yolk in small bowl until blended. Gradually whisk rice flour mixture into the coconut mixture in saucepan.
