Coconut Milk Chocolate Pudding Tips and Suggestions:
Adding more cornstarch to this pudding will make it stiffer. Add up to ½ a cup of cornstarch to stiffen the pudding to a consistency appropriate for a pie, whereas the lower measurement of a heaping ¼ cup will produce a thick pudding for spooning.
Add more cocoa powder for a darker chocolate flavor, or less cocoa for something closer to milk chocolate.
You could use all coconut milk instead of adding regular milk. The more you put in the more coconut flavor the pudding will have. With just one cup of coconut milk it has a subtle coconut flavor.
If you are going to chill the pudding, place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the pudding, touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
