How to Make Coconut Custard Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 7 1/2-inch square ovenproof dish (approximately 1 1/2 inches deep) with 2 tablespoons of butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon for 15-20 minutes, or until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Pour the custard into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the custard is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once completely cool, carefully run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the custard to loosen it from the dish.
- Invert the dish onto a serving plate and cut the custard into squares.
- Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, lime zest, and your favorite fresh fruit slices (such as mango, pineapple, or kiwi) before serving.
