This is a really easy dessert which we make from our fresh coconut milk from the farm.

The dessert has a milky texture with a soft bite.  It is a light dessert for the Tropics.

Combine the following ingredients:

1 + 1/2 cups coconut milk

1 + 1/2 cups water

1/2 cup + 2 tbsp white sugar

1/2 cup + 2 tbsp cornstarch

and stir until the mixture is smooth.  Place in a saucepan and stir under medium heat until it thickens.  Then lower heat and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

Pour into a 5 inch by 9 inch (12.5cm by 22.5cm) pan and refrigerate until firm.  Usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes.

Cut into small squares and enjoy!
