- 2 cups coconut milk
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup freshly grated coconut
Equipment
- 4 ramekins
- Baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C).
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, eggs, 4 tablespoons of sugar, the vanilla extract, and half of the grated coconut.
- Divide this mixture between the four ramekins, then place into a deep baking dish (e.g. a lasagna dish). Pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake in the center of the oven for around 20 minutes, until the custard is set at the sides, with the center retaining a slight wobble.
- Turn off the heat, and leaving the door open, allow the custard to cool in the oven.
- Mix the remaining sugar and grated coconut together, and spoon equal amounts over the top of each custard.
- Brown under a hot oven broiler for around 3 minutes, until the sugar has caramelized.
- Serve immediately.
