Coconut Cream Pudding

Must Try Recipes

This dessert is about as sophisticated as a Snack Pack Pudding cup.  I don’t necessarily mean that as a bad thing- I was eating those Hunt’s snack pack puddings well into my adult working years.  Hunt’s doesn’t make (to my knowledge) a coconut pudding, but I imagine this is exactly what it would taste like should they ever add it to their line-up.

It’s a fast recipe using a bunch of unfussy ingredients that you probably already have in the pantry.  Perfect for when you want to reminisce about the days when you’d get excited that your mom remembered to pack you a dessert.
