Coconut Pudding

February 8, 2016 By Betsy Cohen

Coconut Pudding is a creamy decadent dessert perfect for Valentine's Day, Easter or any day of the year. An easy recipe, too.

I wanted to make something creamy for Valentine’s Day.  Something that reminded me of the inside of a decadent coconut truffle minus the chocolate.  Coconut Pudding came to mind.

The pudding is so creamy and delicious.  I served it in heart shaped ramekins topped with raspberries for Valentine’s Day but it is beautiful served in a large crystal bowl.

Coconut Pudding will be perfect for Easter, too.  Serve the pudding in oval ramekins, top it with toasted coconut and place chocolate Easter eggs over the coconut to resemble a bird’s nest.

One thing I know for sure is that whichever way you present your Coconut Pudding, I am sure your family and friends will be happy.  Samuel could not stop eating it and my friend Nicky started with “I’m only going to have one bite” and ate the entire dish.

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over. More about me.
