THAI COCONUT PUDDING/ CUSTARD

Steps:

• Grease one baking dish or 3 individual ramekins with butter.
• Preheat oven to 260°C.
• Beat eggs and sugar well till it thickens.
• Add essence and coconut milk.
• Beat again.
• Mix in grated coconut.
• I have to add here that I think you should use only fresh coconut for the best result.
• Mix well.
• Pour into baking dish.
• Place dish in a baking tray filled halfway with hot water.
• Bake for 35 mins or till the top is brown and a tester comes out clean.
• Chill and serve overturned in a plate or in the ramekins.
• Dusted with icing sugar.
• Served with any fruit (mango is wonderful) and garnish with the mint.

THAI PANDAN CUSTARD

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl beat the two eggs.
• To get coconut cream, remove the lid from a can of coconut milk and, without stirring the contents, remove the top cream and discard the thin liquid. It should take around 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk to yield 1 1/4 cups coconut cream.
• Add the coconut cream and sugar to the eggs, and whisk it together until the sugar dissolves. Pour this into a double boiler and stir it constantly until it thickens up. Then add milk, mix well, and add the pandan. Continue stirring until it thickens up then transfer to smaller bowls.
• Serve with warm bread or sweet bread of your choice. We love this as a dipping for fresh waffles. Enjoy!
