How to make your own spilt pea coconut pudding~
by vaneats.com edited to be better by edoh!

6 oz. yellow split peas
1 lb. granulated sugar
5 cups water
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 can (14 oz.) coconut milk
6 oz. cornstarch

Pick over and wash split peas. Soak in a bowl of water overnight to make it soft.

Place in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat and simmer until tender but still firm, about 25-30 minutes. Drain and cool.

Combine sugar and water in a large saucepan. Heat until boiling.

Meanwhile, whisk together evaporated milk, coconut milk and cornstarch until smooth.
When syrup [the sugar in water] comes to a boil, pour in cornstarch mixture while stirring constantly.

Stir vigorously until mixture bubbles and thickens. [its going to be mega hard to stir]

Stir in cooked split peas.

Pour into a chillled 9" by 13" dish [other recipe says run the dish under cold water] or other molds. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate until cold. [about 3 hours apparently, I'm going to wait till after dinner :/]

Cut into squares or run a knife around edge of mold and unmold onto a platter. I eat it straight from the bowl
