Tres leches pudding

 Last Monday was Women´s international day . My husband, as usual,was very kind   He give me a  beautiful rose, when  get to our home   At this moment I ´m pretty  positive  that  I must do something good for his sweet tooth.So, in less a minute improvise this dessert Because I know he likes something sweet after meals.  I have heard of tres leches cake and I know what it is. As we are dining so light and had neither time nor patience to do something complex, resolved to do something quick and easy, using a few cans of condensed milk and coconut milk

It is very easy to do and I'm  pretty positive that you love it. To give a lite color I browned  a little grated coconut in a frying pan , but this is entirely optional. Hope you have a good week

Ingredients 350ml condensed milk 350 ml fresh cream 350mlcoconut milk 1 egg yolk 2 Tbsp corn starch 100g grated coconut ( opcional)

Modo de fazer  Combine the  corn starch and a little  of fresh cream, stir until dissolve. Combine  coconut milk, condensed milk and  remaining cream in a saucepan. Place over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until hot (do not allow to boil). Remove saucepan from heat. Whisk egg yolk, and corn starch dissolved until well combined. Return mixture to saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 15 to 20 minutes or until custard thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon (do not allow custard to boil, as it might curdle).  Pour  in small bowls  and cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin forming.  Allow to cool.Sprinkle with browned   grated coconut
