Ingredients:
- Milk: 600g (approximately 2.5 cups)
- Sugar: 50g (about 4 tablespoons)
- Cornstarch: 60g (roughly 0.5 cup)
- Cheese Slices: 2 pieces
- Shredded Coconut for garnish
Instructions:
- Combine and Cook: In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Add the cheese slices to the mixture. Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and the cheese has fully melted. Be patient and keep the heat low to avoid burning.
- Chill: Once the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour the mixture into a serving dish or individual cups. Allow it to cool to room temperature before covering and placing it in the refrigerator. Chill the pudding for at least 4 hours, or for best results, leave it overnight to set completely.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded coconut over the top of the pudding. For an extra touch of sweetness and texture, you can also sprinkle some milk powder along with the coconut if desired.
Tips for Success:
- Ensure continuous stirring while cooking to prevent the pudding from sticking to the bottom of the pan or forming lumps.
- For a smoother texture, consider blending the mixture before chilling if you notice any lumps or unevenness.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for varying flavors. Cream cheese or soft white cheeses work well for a creamier texture.
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy this delightful coconut-cheese pudding as a refreshing dessert after a meal or as a sweet treat at any time of the day. Its creamy texture combined with the tropical flavor of coconut makes it a unique and satisfying dessert option.
