Coconut pudding is a super quick and easy recipe to make.  I actually think it is more like a jello than a pudding.  It is very tasty and would be perfect for hot summer day on the beach.  I served it  in a coconut shell for a unique presentation.

Coconuts are abundant on both of these island nations, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu.  You can of course make the coconut pudding using fresh coconut milk which would be most authentic or you can also make it with canned coconut milk.  Sometimes opening a coconut can be a bit intimidating but the truth is if you use a corkscrew and poke one of the eyes you can remove the water.  Then you can give the coconut a good whack with the back side of sturdy clever and it will crack right open. If you want to remove the flesh of the coconut this tool comes in very handy. 

Did you know that Tuvalu is the least visited country in the world?  It is quite remote and may be one of the first to go under the sea due to climate change.  If you would like to learn more about these countries be sure to check out “Our Journey to Solomon Islands and Tuvalu”
