Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly.
- Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook, whisking constantly, for another 2 minutes, until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the pudding to a bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.

- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pudding until well combined.
- Divide the pudding mixture into serving dishes or glasses.
- Top each serving with a generous sprinkle of toasted coconut.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Enjoy the cool and creamy goodness of your homemade snowy pudding!
