This is totally delicious. More of a custard than pudding. So easy to make with so few ingredients. Highly recommend this recipe. Thanks for sharing it.
To the person who said this was a custard and not a pudding, you are wrong, it's not a custard. Look up what a pudding and custard is. Also "tembleque" does not mean earthquake, that would be "templor de tierra". A "tembleque" is a wiggle, a jiggle or a shake. It's a verb that describes a "wiggly" movement.

I made this with a slight Indian twist and my family LOVED it.
In fact they said it was better than coconut ice cream!
I added 2 tsp vanilla, 2 tsp rose water, and a pinch of ground cardamom to the coconut milk mixture.
For the topping, in addition to ground cinnamon I added toasted crushed pistachios.
I'm not sure how this is supposed to taste... This was my first time but it came out pretty swell. Not to sweet not too light. It reminded me of a pudding. While it tasted good I didn't really enjoy it though because I'm depressed. In a way everything tastes bland now. But thanks for the person who shared this recipe.
This is such a fantastic desert! I had not eaten tembleque since I was a child, and this desert took me right to my childhood summers in Puerto Rico. I was concerned while making it, because my mixture didn't seem to be thickening up; I have an electric stove and had the burner set to medium. It took me about ten minutes to get the mixture to thicken, but once it did, there was no question that it was ready. I followed all of the measurements exactly. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting for it to form up before eating! :D
Fantastic easy and vegan. I served it with small cubes of mango pineapple and banana and I couldn't get enough! I used one big bowl as the mold and everyone enjoyed it including company. I'll definitely be making this again!!
really easy to make its the waiting for it to cool down that is the hard part
I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and it was delicious! Everyone loved it:-) I'm about to make it again just because??
So delicious! My Husband is Puerto Rican and he loved this! So did his Mommy.
Kosher salt is not part of the Puerto Rican cuisine.
