Recipe Tip
To give this recipe a springtime touch, prepare it as directed, omitting the cinnamon. Sprinkle each serving with tinted, shredded coconut and pastel-colored, miniature jelly beans. To tint the shredded coconut, simply mix 1/2 tsp of water with a few drops of food coloring. Add the colored water to 1-1/3 cups coconut in a sealable plastic bag. Close the bag and shake the coconut back and forth, until the coconut is evenly tinted.

To dress this up even more, try garnishing each bowl with ground cinnamon, shredded coconut or shaved chocolate. If you’re family doesn’t love vanilla, try this recipe with chocolate or lemon pudding, instead. You can also make this recipe vegan by substituting the milk with your favorite plant-based milk, such as soy, coconut or almond. Just be sure to use a vegan instant pudding mix that contains plant-based gelatin.
