Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves and the milk is heated through.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the heated milk, stirring constantly.
Continue to cook the milk mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, until the mixture thickens and reaches a pudding-like consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the pudding mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Then, cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until the pudding is completely set.
Once the pudding is set, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut the pudding into 16 equal squares.
Sprinkle unsweetened shredded coconut on top of each square as a garnish before serving.
Enjoy your Milk Pudding Squares with Shredded Coconut chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
