Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 150 g Palm sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 sheet Banana leaf (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare your steaming setup by boiling water in a steamer pot or large pan and ensuring you have a heatproof dish that fits inside.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs gently until combined, being careful not to create too much foam.
Step 3
Add the coconut milk, palm sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the eggs. Stir the mixture with a whisk or spoon until the palm sugar has dissolved completely. Avoid overmixing to prevent bubbles.
Step 4
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl or dish to achieve a smooth custard texture.
Step 5
Cover the heatproof dish tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water droplets from falling into the custard during steaming.
Step 6
Place the dish into the steamer and steam over medium heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set. To check, gently insert a toothpick into the middle; it should come out clean when ready.
Step 7
Carefully remove the dish from the steamer and let it cool to room temperature before serving.
Step 8
Optional: Line a serving plate with a piece of banana leaf for presentation and spoon custard onto it before serving.
