Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
Scald the skim milk by heating it in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer, then remove from heat.
-
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and slightly frothy.
-
Slowly pour the hot milk into the eggs while whisking constantly to temper them and prevent curdling.
-
Stir in the unsweetened coconut and a generous grating of nutmeg.
-
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish or individual ramekins.
-
Place the dish in a larger roasting pan and fill the pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
-
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the custard is set in the center but still slightly jiggly.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
-
Chill for at least 2 hours to allow the custard to fully set before serving.
