Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 can (14 oz) condensed milk
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla extract, salt, and ground cinnamon.
3. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the milk, continuously stirring to avoid curdling.
4. Continue cooking the pudding over medium heat for about 8 10 minutes or until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
5. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any potential lumps.
6. Divide the pudding evenly among serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
