Steamed coconut custards

Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 2 tbs caster sugar
  • 400 ml tin full fat coconut milk don’t use ‘lite’ coconut milk here, the higher water content means the custards will be prone to splitting
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract or paste

Instructions

  • Set your oven to 85⁰C on steam setting.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until they are foamy.
  • Whisk in the coconut milk and vanilla, then strain the mixture into a jug.
  • Divide mixture between 6 half-cup ramekins (or tea cups, little bowls, whatever you have is fine as long as you adjust the timing to suit).
  • Put the ramekins in a tray and cover the whole tray with aluminium foil to stop water dripping onto your custard – you can cover individual dishes with small bits of foil but it’s more of a pain to check if they’re cooked.
  • Steam for 15-20 minutes until the custard is set but with a slight wobble in the centre.
  • Remove from oven and let cool to lukewarm then chill, covered, until ready to serve (at least 4 hours and up to 2 days). Top with warm combination steamed quince for serving.
