This is a dairy-free pudding made with Coconut milk, and it’s surprisingly easy to make. Coconut Pudding can be served hot or cold and is great any time of year. It will definitely hit the spot when you’re looking for a quick and simple dessert.

For a stronger coconut flavor, use coconut extract or coconut rum instead of vanilla extract. To make this recipe into a chocolate coconut pudding, you can add 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to be stirred in with the sugar and cornstarch.

Top with toasted coconut, optional. Here are four easy ways to toast coconut.
1. Spread the coconut in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-10 minutes, stir occasionally, and remove when browned.
2. Spread the coconut in an even layer on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely as it browns quickly.
3. Place the coconut in a pan on the stovetop, and heat over medium-low heat for 3-6 minutes, stirring constantly for even browning.
4. Place the coconut in a microwave-safe glass dish, and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes. Stirring every minute. The microwave method produces a softer, less crispy finished product.
