This sweet coconut pudding is a wonderful treat. The recipe gets its roots in the Philippines and is traditionally served on the holidays and special occasions. Coconut milk provides you with a healthy amount of Vitamins C, E, and B. It has minerals that will promote healthy teeth and the creation of red blood cells. Don’t be concerned about the condensed milk. As long as it is enjoyed in moderation you should be ok and unsweetened versions are available. Condensed milk does offer some health benefits like calcium, potassium, and Vitamin A. So go ahead and enjoy this recipe at your next special occasion.
