 Tips & Troubleshooting

 The mixture isn’t thickening as expected?

 Ensure you stir constantly over medium heat to activate the cornstarch evenly. If needed, let it cook a little longer, but keep an eye on the consistency.

 Is it too sweet for your taste?

Adjust the sugar by reducing the amount, or use less sweetened condensed milk, and add more whole milk.

 Want an extra coconutty kick?

 Substitute part of the whole milk with additional coconut milk for a richer flavor.

 FAQs

2. How long can I store it?
This dessert can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving if it settles.
