Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups coconut milk full-fat for best results
  • 0.5 cup sugar adjust to taste
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and cornstarch mixed with cold water. Whisk until fully dissolved.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 5-10 minutes.
