  1. Stir coconut milk, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan. Spoon a few tablespoons of the coconut milk mixture into a small bowl and stir cornstarch into the mixture to dissolve, pour into the mixture in the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly, cook until smooth and thick, about 5 minutes.

  2. Pour the coconut milk mixture into molds, cover each with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until cold and firm, 3 hours to 2 days.

  3. Run a thin knife around the edges of the mold and invert onto a plate to remove putting. Garnish tops with cinnamon.

Recipe Note

My husband is Puerto Rican and wanted me to make this! 'Tembleque,' which means 'wiggly,' is a creamy coconut pudding.
