Tembleque

description Tembleque Overview

Tembleque is a Puerto Rican dessert made by cooking coconut milk with cornstarch and sugar until the mixture thickens, then chilling it until set. Its soft, trembling, custard-like texture is reflected in its name, and it is commonly finished with a dusting of ground cinnamon; some recipes add spices or toasted coconut. The dish belongs to Puerto Rican food tradition and is served as a chilled coconut pudding, including at festive and family meals.
