Author Notes

What's a better way to use that leftover coconut milk sitting in your refrigerator than by sweetening it up into a pudding? This indulgent vegan dessert whips up quickly on the stove-top, and once chilled, yields the most satisfying custard-like spoonful. Together, coconut and tahini make a wonderous flavor combination that easily comingle with many other flavors, making this recipe endlessly adaptable. I suggest swapping out the brown sugar for panela for a richer molasses flavor, adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder to sate that chocolate craving, or spicing the pudding with vanilla, cardamom, or cayenne.

This recipe fills a 6oz ramekin. —salt
