Pudding Layer Instructions
1

In a small saucepan, mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, and turmeric.

2

Using a whisk, gradually add the milk, stirring to avoid lumps.

3

Cook the mixture on medium heat–whisking constantly to avoid any lumps– until the pudding thickens (about 5 minutes).

4

Remove pudding from the burner, and stir in coconut extract and shredded coconut, if using.

5

Pour into 6-8 medium-sized parfait glasses, filling half full. How many glasses you need will depend on the size of the glass. If you use miniature glasses, this recipe could make approximately 12 parfaits.

Chill for thirty minutes, until firm.
