Coconut Custard Dessert Cups Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup shredded coconut, toasted (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until light and slightly thickened. Gradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot coconut milk mixture to temper the yolks. Then, pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining coconut milk mixture.
3. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
5. Divide the custard evenly among 4-6 ramekins or small dessert cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
6. Before serving, garnish with toasted shredded coconut.
