How to Make Thai Coconut Custard
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, 3 large eggs, ½ cup packed palm sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a heatproof bowl that fits snugly over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler). Stir constantly with a spatula, scraping the bottom and sides, until the custard thickens and resembles soft scrambled eggs (about 15-20 minutes). The custard should coat the back of the spoon.
- Pour the cooked custard into a small (approximately 1-quart) greased oven-safe casserole dish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- For a beautiful golden brown top, carefully place the casserole dish under a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Remove immediately when lightly browned.
