Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 eggs
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup palm sugar or 1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounces crushed pineapple

Steps:

  • Pre heat oven to 350* F.
  • Place eggs, coconut milk, sugar, palm sugar, vanilla and pineapple together in a blender, and puree until smooth.
  • Pour mixture into small greased custard bowls and place on a baking sheet with a rim. Pour hot water in baking sheet so the custard bowls have water 1/3 of the way up their sides.
  • Bake for an hour or until a knife comes out clean.
  • Cool completely and refrigerate until ready to serve. Unmold onto plates and serve cold - I think it would be pretty to serve with fresh fruit and mint as a garnish.

Tips:

  • For the perfect custard texture, use a combination of egg yolks and whole eggs. The yolks provide richness and body, while the whole eggs add structure and stability.
  • Make sure to use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than canned pineapple.
  • If you don't have coconut milk, you can use a mixture of milk and cream. However, coconut milk will give the custard a richer, more authentic flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the custard. Overcooked custard will be grainy and rubbery. To test if the custard is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the custard is done.
  • Serve the custard immediately or chill it for later. Chilled custard is a delicious dessert or snack.
