Tip!
Coconut cream is found in cans, often located in the Asian food section of the grocery. Read the label and be careful that you don't buy coconut milk or "cream of coconut" which is processed with sugar.
One medium orange typically has about 2 to 3 tablespoons of orange zest, so this recipe will call for two oranges. If you don't have a zester, you can grate orange zest on a cheese grater or use a vegetable peeler. If using a cheese grater peeler, you might want to then cut the wider strips with a sharp knife to make them more thin and delicate.
If you prefer a slightly sweeter taste, microwave the raspberries for about 30 seconds, until raspberry juice forms. Then garnish the pudding with raspberries and the natural juices.

That's not necessary, just whisk to combine the ingredients.
Use the cream that settles to the top for a thicker, denser pudding.
