Caramel Pudding

The coconut palm sugar in this dessert gives it a rich caramel flavor, and is a healthier option than table sugar due to its low glycemic level. This pudding is not overly sweet, and goes perfect with an aromatic cup of hazelnut coffee. Can be served alone, or topped with toasted almonds and dark chocolate glaze.

2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
