Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.

Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference.

If the pudding becomes too thick while cooking, add a little more water or coconut milk.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For a vegan option, ensure sugar used is processed vegan.
