Steamed coconut custards

Steamed coconut custards are a delightful and creamy dessert, offering a unique twist with the rich flavors of coconut milk and coconut meat. This recipe combines the smoothness of custard with the exotic taste of coconut, creating a delicious treat that's perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup coconut meat
50g
1 cup coconut milk
230g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
2 yolks
33g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Coconut Meat:
- Finely chop or grate the coconut meat. Set aside.
2. Combine Liquids:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk and regular milk. Mix well to ensure they are thoroughly blended.
3. Whisk Yolks and Sugar:
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.
4. Combine All Ingredients:
- Gradually add the coconut milk and regular milk mixture to the egg yolk and sugar mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the egg yolks from curdling.
- Once fully combined, stir in the finely chopped or grated coconut meat.
5. Prepare Steaming Setup:
- Set up a steamer on the stovetop. Ensure the water level is below the steaming rack. Begin heating the water to create steam.
6. Pour Custard Mixture into Ramekins:
- Evenly divide the custard mixture into small heatproof ramekins or cups.
7. Steam the Custards:
- Place the ramekins or cups into the steamer. Cover with a lid, ensuring no steam escapes.
- Steam the custards on medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are set. The custards should be firm but still slightly wobbly in the center.
8. Check for Doneness:
- Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of a custard. If it comes out clean, they are done.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Carefully remove the ramekins from the steamer using tongs or a kitchen towel to avoid burning yourself.
- Allow the custards to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
10. Optional Garnish:
- For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes on top or drizzle with a bit of caramel sauce before serving.

Tips:

- Make sure to use fresh coconut meat for the best texture and flavor.

- Whisk the yolks and brown sugar together thoroughly to achieve a smooth and even custard base.

- Strain the custard mixture before steaming to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.

- Cover the custard cups with foil or a lid to prevent condensation from dripping onto the custard while steaming.

- Allow the custard to cool completely before serving to let the flavors fully develop and to achieve the perfect consistency.

With this recipe, you can create a delectable steamed coconut custard that’s sure to impress. The combination of coconut milk, fresh coconut meat, and creamy custard makes for a perfectly balanced dessert that's both indulgent and satisfying.
