Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups water
- 2 whole cloves
- 2 cups grated unsweetened coconut meat (about ½ coconut)
- 6 egg yolks
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (to taste)
Instructions
- Crack the coconut open. Cut it in smaller pieces, scoop out the meat and grate about half of it.
- Combine the sugar, water and cloves in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. When the sugar is entirely dissolved, stop stirring and allow to continue boiling for a couple minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low. Remove the cloves. Add the grated coconut and mix well. Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Separately, beat the egg yolks until they thicken. Stir in about ½ cup (100ml) of the syrup and mix, making sure that the egg yolks don’t curdle. Pour the mixture into the saucepan with the remaining syrup and stir thoroughly until reaching a homogeneous pudding texture.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently until the pudding is thick enough. Serve the pudding into individual serving bowls.
- Serve warm or place in refrigerator to serve cold. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon at time of serving.
