Ingredients

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour (or 3 Tbsp cornstarch)
1/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
2 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup salted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flaked coconut, toasted

Instructions

Whisk Dry Ingredients: In an 8-cup glass batter bowl (or a large microwave-safe bowl), whisk together the sugar, flour (or cornstarch), and salt until well combined.
Combine with Wet: Add the eggs and milk to the dry mixture. Whisk thoroughly until the eggs are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Initial Cook: Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Whisk and Scrape: Carefully remove the bowl and whisk the mixture, ensuring you scrape any flour or thickening agent from the bottom and sides of the bowl.
Thicken in Intervals: Continue to microwave in 2-minute intervals, whisking in between, until the pudding is thick, creamy, and holds its shape.
Add Flavor: Remove from the microwave and whisk in the salted butter, vanilla extract, and the toasted flaked coconut.
Chill: Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature on the counter. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until chilled and set.

Notes

Tammy’s Tips

Toasting your coconut is the secret to making this pudding stand out! Just pop it in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until golden and fragrant before adding it to your pudding. This pudding is wonderful on its own, but it also makes a fantastic filling for a homemade coconut cream pie!
