Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Prepare your steaming setup by boiling water in a steamer pot or large pan and ensuring you have a heatproof dish that fits inside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs gently until combined, being careful not to create too much foam.
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.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl or dish to achieve a smooth custard texture.
Cover the heatproof dish tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water droplets from falling into the custard during steaming.
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.
Carefully remove the dish from the steamer and let it cool to room temperature before serving.
Optional: Line a serving plate with a piece of banana leaf for presentation and spoon custard onto it before serving.
