Instructions:
Start by opening the tender coconut and removing the milk and meat. To do this, use a sharp knife to carefully slice off the top of the coconut and drain out the liquid. Next, use a spoon to scrape out the soft, white meat from the inside of the coconut. If the meat is hard to remove, you can use a potato peeler or a small knife to gently pry it out.
Once you have removed all of the milk and meat from the coconut, place it into a blender and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little bit of water to help it blend more easily.
Pour the blended coconut mixture into a saucepan and add the milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Stir the mixture together until well combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and continue to stir for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and coconut milk (if using).
Pour the elaneer pudding into pudding cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it has set and is firm.
Once the pudding is firm, you can serve it as is, or add your favorite toppings. Some ideas for toppings include fresh fruit, coconut flakes, chocolate chips, or a dollop of whipped cream.
And that's it! With just a few simple steps, you'll have a delicious and refreshing tropical treat that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as a dessert at a dinner party, or simply indulging in a sweet snack on a hot summer day, elaneer pudding is sure to be a hit.
But the benefits of elaneer pudding don't stop at its delicious taste. Tender coconut is a highly nutritious food, packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can help to boost your immune system and keep you healthy. It's also rich in fiber, which can help to improve digestion and keep you feeling full and satisfied.
So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy dessert option, give elaneer pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
