Adapted from a recipe from Associated Press. My changes are in parenthesis below. I replaced a portion of the coconut milk with coconut cream. The rose water and orange blossom water are my addition and are optional. You can substitute pure vanilla extract or a little bit of vanilla bean paste instead.

8 serv.
  • sugar1⁄2 cup

    divided, plus

  • sugar1 tablespoon

    divided (reduced from 2 tablespoons)

  • arrowroot1⁄2 cup

    (subbed for cornstarch)

    (original recipe specified the zest of a whole orange)

    (reduced from 1 teaspoon)

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup of the sugar and the arrowroot. Whisk in the coconut cream, coconut milk and salt, then set over medium heat. Whisk until simmering and thickened-do not boil! Reduce heat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Remove from the stove and stir in the orange zest, rose water and orange blossom water. Pour the pudding into a 9-by-9-inch baking dish or individual ramekins. (I used ramekins).

  3. 3

    In a small bowl or cup, mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar with the cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the pudding, then cover and refrigerate until set and completely chilled, about 2 hours.
