Steps:
- Grease eight 4-ounce molds or one large 4-cup mold (you can use ramekins, baking pans, custard cups, etc.) with a spritz of baking spray or coconut oil. Stir together the coconut milk, salt and sugar and stir in a medium saucepan over medium-high until the sugar dissolves.
- Transfer 1 cup of the warm coconut milk to a medium bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch to create a smooth slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry back into the pan and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and pudding-like, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared molds and let cool at room temperature for 20 minutes before loosely covering with plastic wrap and refrigerating.
- Chill until set, at least 4 hours. To serve, run a thin wet knife along the edges of the molds, then carefully invert onto a plate or plates. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon if desired.
Tips:
- Use Fresh Coconut: Fresh coconut milk and cream give the pudding a richer flavor and texture compared to canned or powdered alternatives.
- Chill Mixture Thoroughly: Chilling the coconut mixture before churning helps the pudding set properly and gives it a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Avoid Over-Churning: Over-churning the mixture can result in a grainy texture. Churn the mixture just until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze for Firmer Texture: For a firmer texture, transfer the churned pudding to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the pudding with toasted coconut flakes, fresh berries, or chopped nuts for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
