I love crafting plates that are both good for you and good to eat, and Corn Pudding is a perfect example. It features sweet corn, luscious coconut milk, and a suggestion of vanilla.

Che Bap may not be traditional, but I think using tapioca pearls gives it a unique flavor and texture. Meanwhile, sugar and salt deliver the necessary balance between sweet and savory.

Che Bap Coconut Milk Recipe Ingredient Quantities

• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make this Che Bap Coconut Milk Recipe

1. To make the pudding, boil 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Stir in the tapioca pearls and cook until they are translucent, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

2. After cooking, the tapioca pearls need must to be drained and rinsed cold to keep the cooking process from continuing. The pearls can be set aside, waiting to mingle with the other boba fixings.

3. In a different saucepan, mix 1 cup of corn kernels with 1/2 cup of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

4. Put the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring now and then to dissolve the sugar.

5. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes; you want it to blend together and become one with itself.

6. Combine the cooked tapioca pearls and the corn and coconut milk mixture.

7. Maintain the heat on low and cook for 5 more minutes. Stir vigorously to ensure that the tapioca is thoroughly mixed in.

8. In order to enrich the taste, include 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.

9. Sample the mixture and revise the flavor profile to err on the side of overly sweet or overly salty, according to your personal taste. If it doesn’t taste like it has enough of either of those two elements, add more sugar or salt.

10. Take off the heat and allow the dessert to come down to a slightly warm state before dishing up. Serve it warm or chilled—it is delightful either way.

Pro Tips

1. For extra creaminess, consider using full-fat coconut milk instead of the light version. It adds a richer texture to the pudding.

2. If you prefer a more intense corn flavor, try using fresh corn and lightly roasting it before adding it to the coconut milk mixture. This enhances the natural sweetness and aroma of the corn.

3. To prevent the tapioca pearls from sticking together after cooking, toss them in a small amount of coconut oil or neutral oil after rinsing. This also adds a subtle layer of flavor.

4. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg when mixing the corn and coconut milk for a warm, spiced undertone that complements the vanilla and sweetens the dessert naturally.

5. For additional texture and flavor, consider folding in fresh fruit like mango or pineapple just before serving. They add a refreshing contrast to the creamy pudding.
