How to Make Coconut Pots De Crme

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, vanilla extract (or scraped vanilla bean), and coconut milk. If using a whole vanilla bean, add it now.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer. Do not boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat. If using a whole vanilla bean, remove and discard it.
  5. In a stand mixer, whisk together egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and thick.
  6. Slowly drizzle the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while mixing on low speed. This tempers the eggs and prevents scrambling.
  7. Increase the mixer speed to medium and whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and thickened.
  8. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any lumps.
  9. Gently fold in the shredded coconut.
  10. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Place 8 ramekins or oven-safe cups in a roasting pan.
  11. Fill each ramekin almost to the top with the coconut custard mixture.
  12. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This creates a water bath for even cooking.
  13. Cover the roasting pan loosely with foil to prevent excessive browning.
  14. Bake for 60-90 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  15. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  16. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely chilled.
  17. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and espresso powder before serving.
