Directions
-
In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut milk and shredded coconut, stirring occasionally until the mixture is warm and fragrant.
-
Separately, whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl until they are light and frothy.
-
Slowly pour the warm coconut mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent scrambling.
-
Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Remove the pan from the heat and immediately place it in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. Let the custard cool to room temperature.
-
Ladle the cooled custard into individual dessert bowls and sprinkle with additional shredded coconut for garnish.
-
Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow the custard to set fully.
