Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 4 large Eggs
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Shredded sweetened coconut (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk and heavy cream. Heat until just warm, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Step 4
Slowly add the warm coconut milk and cream mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Step 5
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or a bowl with a spout to remove any lumps or impurities.
Step 6
Divide the custard mixture evenly into six 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups.
Step 7
Place the ramekins in a large baking dish. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins, creating a water bath.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are just set. The center should still wobble slightly when gently shaken.
Step 9
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled.
Step 10
Optional: Toast the shredded sweetened coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden, stirring frequently. Let it cool before using as garnish.
Step 11
Before serving, sprinkle the top of each custard with toasted coconut if desired. Enjoy your Nancy Drew-inspired treat!
