    Hi,

    I tried making this but mine never set. It was still liquid after 24hrs. I still tried it yummo like drinking chocolate sauce! I would really like to know how to master this recipe as I think it could be a family favorite.
    Any suggestions on what might have gone wrong?
    Cheers,
    Tina

    Mine did not set. Used 100% fresh milk made the old fashioned way from a real coconut and it just didn’t come together with the egg over heat. The flavor was good so I added cacao poweder and chia seeds to thicken it and WOW! It worked! Delish!

    You can make this in a high-powered blender that has a "cook" setting. (It just runs the blender until friction from the spinning blade heats the liquid.) Just put all the ingredients in the blender and run the cook setting until it thickens - for me it usually takes 4 1/2 to 6 minutes. If you don't mind it being a bit foamy, refrigerate as is, otherwise gently stir to break some of the bubbles before refrigerating. I particularly like it with a bit of peanut butter swirled in before eating it.

    For those having trouble with pudding setting up, you must use the CANNED COCONUT MILK (full fat) often in the Thai / Asian food isle, and not the carton of coconut milk meant to drink. The canned is much thicker.

    For best consistency, I would consume within 3 days.

    Thank you! This is the hardest part of these recipes. There are so many different types of "coconut milk" that we really need the recipe writers to please specify which kind they used. There is the canned kind found in the Asian aisle, the real coconut milk from actual coconuts also called coconut water, or the kind found in cartons made popular by the company Silk.

    Canned coconut milk would be best for this one.

    Excellent recipe! Be sure to use full fat canned coconut milk. The egg yolks thicken the pudding - be sure to cook over medium heat for the full 10 minutes while whisking. My pudding came to a gentle simmer. Then take the saucepan off the burner, and add the chocolate pieces and vanilla. I also added a few shakes of salt, and cinnamon. A sprinkle of shredded coconut (non-sweetened) is great when serving.

    Wouldn't tempering your egg yolks be better for this recipe? It says to add them directly to the coconut milk then heat. Is that why it doesn't thicken?

    You may choose to temper the egg yolks, but it is not required for this recipe.
