Coconut Delicacy

Directions

• If you wish to unmold the dish, grease a pudding mold with a little oil or butter and set aside.
• Mix the cornstarch in a glass with a little milk until completely dissolved. Reserve.
• In a pan, add the remaining milk, coconut milk, grated coconut and sugar.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
• When the mixture starts to boil, add the cornstarch dissolved in the milk, stirring continuously.
• Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and reaches the consistency of a cream.
• Pour the mixture into the pudding mold (or into individual pots, if you prefer).
• Let it cool at room temperature for a few minutes before putting it in the fridge.
• Place the manjar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until it is firm.
• If you chose to unmold, before serving, run a knife around the edge of the mold to loosen the flavor.
• Place a serving plate over the pan and turn it upside down. The delicacy should come loose and stay on the plate.
• Serve the coconut delicacy chilled, with caramel sauce if desired.
