Ingredients
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 5 egg yolks
  • ½ cup sugar plus 1 tbsp for each ramekin
  • 2 vanilla beans
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer whip together the egg yolks and sugar until the egg yolks are light in color.
  2. Pour the can of coconut milk into a small saucepan and heat on medium-low.
  3. Cut each vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the vanilla bean pulp with a knife.
  4. Whisk the pulp into the coconut milk.
  5. Once the coconut milk is simmering take the pan off the heat and slowly pour a small amount into the egg yolk mixture while mixing, this will help temper the eggs.
  6. Then continue to pour in the remaining coconut milk mixture and mix until well combined.
  7. Place 4-6 ramekins in a shallow baking dish and fill each with the coconut mixture.
  8. Pour hot water into the baking dish so that the water is halfway up the ramekins and place the dish into an oven preheated to 325 degrees.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the custard is set but slightly wiggly in the middle.
  10. Let cool.
  11. Once cool, sprinkle one tablespoon of sugar over top each custard-filled ramekin and, using a butane torch, heat the sugar until brown and crisp.
  12. Serve immediately.
