HB-2312 · Hand-built original · Puerto Rican
Tembleque Coconut Pudding is a Puerto Rican treat that is a creamy and sweet dessert.
Main ingredient: milk
Pairs well with: coffee, vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, whipped cream
Ingredients
- 4 cups full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 1 tbsp Grand Marnier (optional)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon, for dusting
- 2 tbsp toasted coconut flakes, to serve
Method
- Lightly rinse 8 individual moulds or one 8 in mould with cold water and do not dry them; this helps the pudding unmould.
- Whisk the cornstarch with 1 cup of the coconut milk in a bowl until completely smooth.
- Pour the remaining coconut milk into a medium saucepan, add the sugar and salt, and heat over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.
- Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook, whisking constantly, for about 5 minutes, until the mixture boils, thickens to a heavy custard, and pulls away slightly from the sides of the pan.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the Grand Marnier, if using.
- Pour into the prepared moulds, smooth the tops, and cool to room temperature, then chill for at least 3 hours until firmly set and wobbling when shaken gently.
- Turn out onto serving plates, dust generously with cinnamon, and scatter with toasted coconut.
