Ingredients

Pudding

• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon coconut extract
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toasted Coconut

• 1 - 2 cups flaked coconut

Here's how to make it:

1. To toast the coconut, put the flaked coconut into a skillet. Cook over medium-low heat until light brown, about 4 minutes. To make it in the oven, spread the coconut on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 325-degree F oven for about 5 to 10 minutes. 
2. To make the pudding, pour about 3 tablespoons of the coconut milk into a small bowl. Add the cornstarch and stir to make a slurry.
3. Put all the pudding ingredients, including the slurry, into a sauce pot. Whisk to combine and cook over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour the pudding into a bowl or individual serving bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour to chill. Sprinkle with shredded coconut before serving.
