INGREDIENTS

■ 1x 400ml|13.5oz can of coconut milk

■ 1 cup|240ml of water

■ 1/2 cup|45g of rice flour

■ 1/2 cup|70g of granulated sugar

■ 2 tablespoons of desiccated coconut to sprinkle (optional)

■ equipment; 6 x 1/2 cup|120ml or 3 x 1 cup|240ml capacity mould

DIRECTIONS

1. Whisk the sugar, rice flour and water together in a bowl.

2. Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan on a low setting, just as it starts to simmer whisk in the rice flour mixture a little at time. Continue to whisk the simmering mixture until it thickens, the surface starts to pop and the mixture looks more opaque - about 10 minutes. Continue whisking at a simmer for another five minutes and remove from the heat.

3. Rinse the pudding mould/s with cold water and just shake off any excess liquid. Pour or spoon the coconut pudding into the moulds and smooth the top with a wet knife or the back of a spoon. Cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for 2 hours or more.

4. To turn out the puddings; run the point of a knife around the top edge, individually gently pull the top edge of each pudding away from the side of the mould and gently invert onto a plate. Sprinkle with desiccated coconut.
