Coconut Haupia Pudding Cups

Instructions

1. 1Get a medium-sized saucepan (about 2-quart or 2000 ml capacity). Pour the 2 cans of coconut milk into the saucepan. Add the 1/2 cup of cornstarch and the 1/2 cup of sugar to the saucepan, then use a whisk to thoroughly combine these ingredients until they are fully dissolved and there are no lumps.
2. 2Place the saucepan over medium heat, which is approximately 148.9-162.8°C (150-160°C). Stir the mixture constantly with a whisk or spoon to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. Continue cooking for 8-12 minutes, until the mixture visibly thickens to a pudding-like consistency and comes to a gentle boil, with bubbles breaking the surface.
3. 3Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until it is fully incorporated into the pudding.
4. 4Immediately pour the hot pudding mixture into four individual serving cups or a single serving dish.
5. 5Allow the pudding cups to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, transfer them to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the pudding is completely firm and set.
