Summer Berry and Coconut Pudding Tart

As we get ready to celebrate the 4th of July in a couple of weeks, I thought now would be a good  time to share a dessert perfect for your BBQ.  It’s delectable with a sweet, crumbly graham cracker crust, creamy coconut pudding and tart summer berries. Seriously, this may be my new favorite summer dessert.

I don’t have much experience making pudding so I did some research and discovered that it is actually really simple. For this recipe I used five ingredients that I always have on hand including canned coconut milk. Most pudding recipes call for cow’s milk but since I am still avoiding dairy, I decided to give coconut milk a try. The result is a thick, scrumptious pudding that I could eat by the bowl full and one that worked unbelievably well in this dessert.
