TOASTED COCONUT BANANA PUDDING FOR TWO
This is a mash-up of two of my favorite desserts, banana pudding and coconut cream pie. I sub in coconut milk and coconut cream to cut back on the dairy and add another layer of coconut flavor, then bump up the flavors with vanilla bean, toasted coconut, sliced bananas and crunchy vanilla wafers. Instead of committing to a big batch of pudding, you can make just enough for two servings in individual parfait glasses or jars.

Steps:
- Combine the coconut milk with the vanilla bean and seeds in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium heatproof bowl until pale yellow, 1 to 2 minutes. It'll clump together but loosen up as you whisk.
- Ladle some of the hot coconut milk into the yolk mixture and whisk together, then pour back into the pot and whisk fully. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean heatproof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the surface of the pudding so a film doesn't form, then place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour.
- When ready to assemble the puddings, take the canned coconut cream out of the fridge and open. Scoop the top solid part out, leaving the liquid in the can, and place in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. (Alternatively, place it in a large bowl and use a handheld mixer.) Add the confectioners' sugar and whisk on high speed for 20 seconds, then add 1 to 3 tablespoons of the liquid from the can, until your desired consistency is reached. The coconut whipped cream should be smooth and fluffy.
- To a parfait glass or glass jar, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the vanilla pudding followed by 5 or 6 slices of banana, 1 to 2 tablespoons of the coconut whipped cream, 2 wafer cookies crumbled and a sprinkle of toasted coconut. Repeat this layering once more, then finish with a scoop of pudding, a scoop of whipped cream, 2 or 3 slices of banana, a crumbled vanilla wafer and sprinkle of toasted coconut. Repeat with the second glass. Serve right away.
TOASTED COCONUT PUDDING
I decided to jazz up homemade vanilla pudding to make it taste like a Mounds candy bar. When the miniature chips are topped with the warm pudding, they melt into a rich creamy chocolate that's great with the chewy coconut.JoAnn Moseman, Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma

TOASTED COCONUT RICE PUDDING
This is not your average rice pudding. There's a fragrant, almost floral, waft of scent and flavor that is imparted to the creamy rice mixture by the ginger, lime and honey. The toasted coconut and rum are the kickers, though, making it over-the-top good!

Steps:
- To toast coconut: Heat a clean, dry frying pan over medium-high heat, add desiccated coconut and cook, shaking pan constantly, until coconut is golden. (Make a little more toasted coconut than is called for in the recipe so that you can sprinkle some over top at serving time.).
- Bring water, freshly-grated ginger, lime peel, salt and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rice, return to the boil, and then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, so the mixture cooks at a simmer. Cook until rice has absorbed most of the water, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the lime peel and discard.
- Scald the 1 cup evaporated milk and honey in the microwave.
- Add the hot milk, honey, toasted coconut and chopped raisins, if using, to the rice mixture. Cook at a bare simmer a further 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rum and vanilla extracts.
- Transfer pudding to a large bowl, place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto surface and cool to room temperature. Place in refrigerator until cool and set. Just before serving, 'loosen' rice pudding by beating in the reserved 1/2 cup evaporated milk with a fork.
- Serve with your favorite toppings.
