Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Eggs
Provide structure when beaten, and form the meringue topping that gives a light, airy finish.
Butter
Adds fat and richness, giving the pudding a tender texture.
Sugar
Sweetens the pudding and helps the meringue brown when baked.
Milk
Supplies the liquid that moistens the pudding and sets as it bakes.
Coconut (in the method)
Adds coconut flavor and a moist, chewy texture to the pudding.

The step that matters

Meringue the egg whites on top and bake until a delicate brown. Egg white proteins set and sugar browns quickly in the oven. Pull the pudding once it is lightly browned, since overbaking can make the meringue tough and cause it to weep.
