1½ cups whole milk
½ cup sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla extract

In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Gradually add the coconut milk and whole milk, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth.
Cook this mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens, which will take about 7 to 9 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If you like, you can also add butter for extra richness.
Pour the pudding into cups or bowls, cover them with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
Before serving, top your pudding with whipped cream, toasted coconut, or fresh fruit for added flavor and decoration.
