This is a quick and easy to prepare dessert. I usually always have the ingredients on hand. There are boxed versions of this pudding, but it is traditionally prepared at home. You can add more or less cornstarch if preferred. This dessert is so versatile that it can be served warm or chilled. I love to eat it both ways, when it chills it firms up.
SERVES 3 -5
Ingredients
- 4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- sugar (to taste)
Toppings
- ground cinnamon (to taste)
- unsweetened dried shredded coconut (to taste)

Directions
1
Combine cornstarch and water in a small cup and stir well.2
Add milk to a soup pan or dutch oven pot.3
Stir in cornstarch mixture in milk before it gets warm.4
Add in vanilla and sugar.5
Must stir constantly until it comes to a boil.6
Let boil for 2 minutes, meanwhile still stirring.7
Serve in dessert bowls.8
Top with cinnamon and coconut or just chopped pistachios.9
It's traditionally eaten hot, but I like it cold too, once it cooled off and firmed up.10
Enjoy!

I followed the directions and the pudding got thick and creamy, but I found the texture and taste to be quite strange. I varied it some, I flavored it with cardamom as it is my favorite spice and put some almonds in it, which I liked. I would have liked to try it with the coconut over top of it, maybe I wo uld have liked it better. I ate some cold for breakfast this morning, but couldn't get past the consistency. Jury is still out on this one for me...

I think the other reviewer must have either got the measures wrong or else not heated it enough, as mine turned out perfectly thick and delicious! In fact if anything it was a little too thick as--in view of the other reviewers comments--I erred on the side of caution and added extra cornflour, but I always think its better to end up with something like this too thick than too thin as you can always thin it out with a little extra milk. I also added raisins, but other than that I followed the instructions above, sprinkling it with coconut and cinnamon to finish. My kids loved it too! I'd describe it as halfway in between custard and rice pudding minus the rice (it is actually very similar to a pudding I have made before with rice flour). A good, simple, comforting pudding.

I am going to take off my 1 star review since I probably did something wrong and dont want to detract others from trying it!!
