Awesome! Love the coconut flavor to this pudding -- it really takes traditional banana pudding to another level of deliciousness . You might think this would be overly sweet with the addition of cream of coconut, but it isn't. Will definitely make this dish again! Made for Cooking Tag Mania, November, 2013.
