Banana Coconut Pudding or Pie Filling

Rich and creamy, with an excellent, almost butterscotch-like flavor. Fairly healthy for a sweet treat. I make it gluten- and refined sugar-free, sweetening with coconut sugar.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter

• 1 cup toasted unsweetened shredded coconut

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix almond milk, egg yolks, coconut sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a large saucepan and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Cook and stir almond milk mixture until it thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir shredded coconut, butter, and vanilla extract into milk mixture. Remove saucepan from heat and allow pudding to cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Divide sliced bananas between 8 serving bowls and pour pudding over top.
