I am Puerto Rican and my mom used to make this when I was a child. I think that it was a good idea to include it on this website! Also, I agree that putting coconut in while cooking may help. Thanks for the recipe!

I am Puert Rican, and I know how this is supposed to taste. It is very easy to make with this recipe, but it isn't sweet enough. Maybe 3/4 of a cup of sugar, should suffice. Also, instead of sprinkling the coconut flakes on top, try dropping them in while cooking.

This was a very good pudding dessert. It did have a texture more like jello. I added about 1/4 sweetened coconut flakes to the pudding while it was cooking. I also added about a teaspoon of coconut extract. I really liked it while it was still warm and more of a pudding consistency, but the it still tasted good after it had chilled.
