Mix cornstarch and sugar. Add other ingredients and microwave on HIGH 4-6 minutes or until thickened. Cool. Garnish whipped cream with fresh berries. (Try other fruit fillings, too.)

Heavenly Coconut Dessert: 6 ounce package frozen coconut, 1 (5 5/8 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding, 2 cups milk and 1 cup sour cream. Mix pudding, milk and sour cream. Sprinkle half of the coconut over second layer. Then spread pudding mixture over coconut. Use remaining coconut to sprinkle over top of whipped cream as final garnish.
