Step 1

Place the egg yolk, sugar, rice flour, and corn starch in a saucepan and mix.

Step 2

Add ½ cup of milk to the mix and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Add the remaining milk.

Step 3

Add the ground almond and desiccated coconut to the saucepan, and mix well.

Step 4

Place the saucepan on medium-low heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously.

Step 5

Cook the mixture for a few more minutes and then add the vanilla paste.

Step 6

When the pudding gets thick enough, remove the pan from the heat and divide the mixture into serving bowls. You can check the consistency of the pudding with a spoon. It should be covering the back of the spoon without dripping.

Step 7

Let the bowls chill in the fridge for a couple of hours and then garnish them with ground pistachio, coconut flakes, and red fruits before serving.
