If you're wanting a change from cookies or cake, then pudding is always a safe bet. To make it a little different, make it coconut pudding!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups light cream
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 cups flaked coconut
• 1 tsp. grated orange rind
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Sift the sugar, cornstarch, and salt into a saucepan; gradually add the milk and cream, mixing until smooth. Cook over low heat, stirring steadily until thickened. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl; gradually add the hot mixture, stirring steadily to prevent curdling. Return to saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring steadily for 2 minutes, but do not let boil. Cool. Beat with a rotary beater or electric mixer for 2 minutes, then flod in the coconut, orange rind, and vanilla. Pour into 8- 10 custard cups and chill. Serve with whipped cream.
