How to Make Coconut Custard
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, 3 large eggs, and ½ cup granulated sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth and set it over a large bowl. Pour the coconut mixture through the sieve, pressing gently to remove any lumps. This ensures a silky smooth custard.
- Pour the strained coconut mixture into your chosen serving dish (ramekins, a small baking dish, or a single large bowl work well).
- Fill a steamer basket with enough water to come halfway up the sides of your serving dish. Place the dish in the steamer basket and cover.
- Steam over medium heat for 20-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and no longer jiggles in the center. Cooking time may vary depending on the size and depth of your serving dish. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when done.
- Remove from steamer and let cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the custard to fully set and chill. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving (optional).
