Here’s a simple and delicious creamy coconut dessert you can make at home with basic ingredients.
🥥 Creamy Coconut Dessert (No-Bake)
🍶 Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk (full-fat for best creaminess)
- 1 cup milk (or more coconut milk for dairy-free)
- 3–4 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 3 tbsp cornstarch (or cornflour)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp shredded coconut (optional, for texture)
- Pinch of salt
👨🍳 Instructions
- In a bowl, mix cornstarch + ½ cup milk until smooth (no lumps).
- In a saucepan, heat remaining milk + coconut milk + sugar + salt.
- When warm, slowly add the cornstarch mixture while stirring continuously.
- Cook on medium heat, stirring until it thickens (like custard/pudding).
- Add vanilla and shredded coconut. Mix well.
- Pour into serving cups or a dish.
- Let it cool, then refrigerate for 2–3 hours until set.
❄️ Serving ideas
- Top with toasted coconut flakes
- Add mango slices for a tropical twist
- Drizzle honey or condensed milk for extra sweetness
💡 Tips
- For a richer taste, use all coconut milk (no dairy)
- Stir constantly while thickening to avoid lumps
- It becomes firmer when fully chilled
If you want, I can also give you:
- a Thai-style coconut pudding (more silky and jelly-like)
- a 3-ingredient coconut dessert version
- or a low-sugar keto coconut dessert
