Ingredients

The ingredients are:

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons butter
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan combine first 7 ingredients in order listed (starting with coconut milk first); bring to a boil whisking vigorously over medium heat (you must mix continuously and vigorously so that there is no cornstarch lumps remaining).

  • Step 2: As soon as the mixture is very hot whisk in the egg yolk and cook whisking vigorously until thickened and bubbly (about 2 minutes).

  • Step 3: Remove from heat and immediately stir in butter until smooth and combined.

  • Step 4: Transfer to a heat-proof bowl, then place a piece of plastic wrap directly over the pudding. Cool for about 30 minutes on the counter then refrigerate until cold or enjoy warm if you want.
