Coconut Pudding of Oahu

I’m always excited when I get to try out new recipes as part of my blog campaigns.  I’m especially partial to tropical type foods, so when I saw the Old London Hawaiian themed recipes that came with my last Mom Central campaign I was eager to try them out.

I made the Coconut Pudding of Oahu, halving the recipe to fit an 8×8 pan, and substituting the canned cream of coconut with sweetened condensed milk.  Although the directions didn’t state it, I also used a non-stick spray on my pan, I was glad I did because I had no problems getting the pudding out of the pan that way (which is a firm pudding that gets baked).  The recipe went over really well with those who tried it, and it’s definitely something I will make again.
