Notes

Pudding keeps good for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
Adjust sugar to suit your taste preference.
I've used two full fat coconut milk tins, each 400ml. You can use homemade coconut milk.

Tips and Tricks

Ensure to mix the contents well before turning the heat on to avoid forming lumps.
Always cook at low flame stirring constantly to avoid burning at the bottom of the pan.
Pudding thickens further and sets when chilled. So ensure to allow it to set in the fridge for at least a couple of hours.
