Simple Light Coconut Pudding

I looked and looked on recipezaar for a coconut pudding recipe, and couldn't find one that looked just perfect for me. so i created this one to satisfy my craving and it has become a regular around our house. it's delicious and simple- and it's perfect if you love coconut as much as I do! Cooking time is actually refrigeration time.
