Creamy Coconut Vegan Vanilla Pudding Recipe

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 14 oz full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave syrup for natural sweetness
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: toasted coconut flakes for topping

Instructions
 

  • Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of coconut milk to form a slurry. This helps prevent clumping later on.
  • Heat: In a medium saucepan, pour in the remaining coconut milk and the maple syrup. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  • Thicken: Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue stirring for 5-7 minutes until the pudding thickens.
  • Finish: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Cool: Pour the pudding into serving bowls, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Serve: Once chilled, top with toasted coconut flakes for a bit of texture and extra coconut flavor.
