Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Scald the skim milk by heating it in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer, then remove from heat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Slowly pour the hot milk into the eggs while whisking constantly to temper them and prevent curdling.
  5. Stir in the unsweetened coconut and a generous grating of nutmeg.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish or individual ramekins.
  7. 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.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the custard is set in the center but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
  10. Chill for at least 2 hours to allow the custard to fully set before serving.
