Instructions

1. Blend the sugar with the cornstarch in a blender jar, so the sugar gets finer.
2. Add the coconut milk and blend for 2 minutes, until smooth.
3. Transfer to a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it's thicker than pudding, like a thick béchamel (8-10 minutes).
4. Pour it into a rectangular pan, smooth the top and leave it in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
5. Cut it into small squares and serve, topped with bits of fruit and cinnamon if you like.
