The name of this Puerto Rican dessert comes from the word temblar, which means to shake. It’s usually described as a coconut pudding, but it shakes like a jelly.
Ingredients
- 2 (13.5 ounce) cans coconut milk
- 2 ¼ cups white sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cornstarch
- ¾ cup water
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Combine coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Combine cornstarch and water in a bowl. Whisk until mixture has a uniform consistency.
Step 3
Pour cornstarch-water mixture into the saucepan and whisk until mixture thickens into a pudding, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the mixture into a bowl.
Step 4
Pour the strained mixture into a mold, pan, or individual serving glasses. Smooth out the surface and allow to cool about 15 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving.
Cook’s Notes:
You can add more or less sugar to taste, the amount is just a guideline.
