How to Make Cambodian Coconut Custard

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and cornstarch until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
  2. Add the eggs and vanilla extract; whisk until well combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into individual ramekins or a large baking dish.
  4. Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of water and bring to a simmer.
  5. Carefully place the ramekins or baking dish in the pot, ensuring the water level doesn't exceed halfway up the sides.
  6. Cover the pot with a lid and steam for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and no longer jiggles when gently shaken.
  7. Carefully remove the ramekins from the steamer and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the custard to fully chill and set.
  9. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving chilled.
