Coconut pudding with fresh fruits

Manjar con frutas

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Manjar (or manjar blanco) is Latin America's answer to creamy pudding, a kind of thick, creamy milk caramel often enriched with coconut. In this fresh version, the silkiness of the coconut base cream meets the acidity of tropical fruits. It's not a heavy dessert, but a cooling, fruity finale that evokes the atmosphere of Caribbean beaches.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the cornflour with a little cold milk until smooth (lump-free).

Tip: Starch granules do not swell in cold water, so they can be dispersed.
2 ✓

Boil the remaining milk with the sugar, vanilla, and desiccated coconut. Let simmer for 5 minutes to extract the coconut flavour.

Tip: Boiling softens the coconut and makes it more aromatic.
3 ✓

Pour the cornflour milk into the hot mixture while stirring continuously. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until it thickens (pudding consistency).

Tip: Heat causes the starch granules to swell and bind the liquid (gelatinisation).
4 ✓

Pour into bowls, let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Tip: If you don't like a 'skin' on top, place cling film directly onto the surface.
5 ✓

Before serving, dice the fruits and pile on top of the cold cream.

Tip: The acidity and freshness of the fruits break up the creamy, sweet flavour profile.

Recipe FAQ

Why is it lumpy?
Cornflour must always be mixed in cold liquid before adding to hot.
How long to chill?
