Coconut Pudding (Weight Watchers-Friendly)
A creamy, tropical dessert that’s easy to make and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while keeping it light.
Ingredients (Serves 6)
2 cups light coconut milk (or full-fat for richer flavor)
1 cup whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
½ cup sweetened condensed milk (or sugar-free condensed milk)
¼ cup sugar (or substitute with stevia, honey, or agave)
¼ cup cornstarch
½ cup grated coconut (unsweetened for fewer points)
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Pudding Base
In a saucepan, whisk together coconut milk, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
Cook the Mixture
Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (5-7 minutes). It should coat the back of a spoon.
Add Flavor
Stir in grated coconut and vanilla extract. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Chill and Set
Pour the pudding into serving bowls or a large dish. Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours until firm.
Serve
Garnish with extra grated coconut or fresh mint. Enjoy chilled!
