🥥 Baked Coconut Custard Dessert

Ingredients:

• 2 cups coconut milk (full fat, canned)

• 3 large eggs

• ¾ cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for deeper flavor)

• ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut (or unsweetened if preferred)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ¼ tsp salt

• Optional: pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon

• Optional topping: toasted coconut or whipped cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven to 160°C (325°F).
   Lightly grease a baking dish or use individual ramekins.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

3. Add Coconut:
   Stir in shredded coconut (this adds texture and extra coconut flavor).

4. Bake:
   Pour the mixture into your prepared dish or ramekins. Place them in a larger baking pan and fill the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides — this water bath ensures even, gentle cooking.

5. Cooking Time:
   Bake for 40–50 minutes (or 30–35 for ramekins), until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center. A knife should come out mostly clean.

6. Cool:
   Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and firm up.

7. Serve:
   Top with toasted coconut flakes or a dollop of whipped cream. You can also drizzle a little caramel or honey if desired.

🌴 Tips:

• For extra richness, use half coconut milk and half heavy cream.

• You can add a bit of lime or lemon zest for a refreshing citrus note.

• Make it gluten-free and dairy-free easily — it already is!
