Open a can of coconut milk and pour it into a saucepan.

Add 3 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt to the saucepan.

Add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to the mixture in the saucepan.

Turn the heat to low and stir the mixture.

Stir until it thickens, which takes about 5 to 10 minutes depending on the heat.

Once thickened, remove from heat and pour into a square mold.

Even out the surface of the mixture in the mold to remove bubbles and imperfections.

Cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 6 hours.

After chilling, cut the pudding into 9 cubes and transfer to a plate.
