Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 4 Eggs
- 100 g Palm sugar
- 1 tbsp Rice flour
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your steamer or set up a stovetop steamer by filling a large pot with water and setting a steamer basket on top. Make sure the water level does not touch the basket.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined and smooth.
Add the coconut milk, palm sugar, rice flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the eggs. Whisk well until the palm sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into another clean bowl to remove any lumps or egg solids. This will ensure a silky-smooth custard.
Pour the custard mixture into small heatproof ramekins or bowls, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
Place the ramekins into the steamer basket and cover them with a lid. Steam over medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly when shaken lightly.
Carefully remove the ramekins from the steamer and let them cool to room temperature. For a chilled dessert, refrigerate the custards for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serve the Thai Coconut Custard as is, or garnish with toasted shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
