Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and beat them lightly. Gradually add the beaten eggs to the coconut milk mixture, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth and even mixture.
- If not already toasted, chop the almonds into small pieces.
- Place the chopped almonds in a dry pan over medium heat. Stir frequently until they are lightly golden and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
- Once toasted, let them cool for a few minutes.
- Add the toasted almonds into the custard mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Pour the custard mixture into individual ramekins or a baking dish. Place the ramekins in a larger baking dish or roasting pan.
- Fill the larger baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This ensures even cooking and prevents the custard from curdling.
- Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Check the custard by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a slight residue.
- Remove the custard from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the custard set completely and enhances the flavors.
- Optionally, sprinkle extra toasted almonds on top before serving for added crunch and visual appeal.
Tips:
- Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
- Toast the almonds before adding them to enhance their nutty flavor and provide extra crunch.
- For a smoother custard, strain the mixture through a fine sieve before baking.
- Avoid over-baking as it can cause the custard to curdle. It should still have a slight jiggle in the center when done.
- Let the custard cool completely before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top before serving.
With just a handful of ingredients and straightforward steps, this Coconut and Almond Custard is an easy yet elegant dessert that anyone can make. Rich, creamy, and with a delightful hint of almond, it's the perfect way to end any meal on a sweet note. So go ahead, give it a try, and enjoy the wholesome goodness of homemade custard.
