How to Make Easy Thai Coconut Custard

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs one at a time until light and frothy.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
  4. In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). The texture should resemble very softly scrambled eggs. Do not boil.
  5. Pour the mixture into a small (approximately 1.5-quart) greased oven-safe casserole dish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the custard is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. For a beautiful browned top, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
