Coconut Custard


Serves: 6
Total Calories: 581

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sugar divided
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 cup whole milk
6 eggs
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Place 1 cup of the sugar in a small pan over medium heat. When it begins to liquify, shake the pan often until the sugar is fully melted and beginning to caramelize (turn brown).
2. Immediately pour equal amounts of the caramelized sugar into six individual ovenproof custard cups. Cool for 10 minutes.
3. Place all of the remaining ingredients in a blender and blend for 2 minutes.
4. Pour equal amounts of the mixture in the cups over the cooled sugar mixture. Carefully place the cups in a baking pan.
5. Transfer the pan to a preheated 350°F oven and bake 45 minutes, or until the center of the custards are firm. Serve warm, or refrigerate and serve chilled.

Important tips
* Use a rubber spatula to transfer the melted sugar from the pan to the custard cups.
* After enjoying this custard, some of the sugar may stick to the cups and be difficult to clean. Simply let the cups run under very hot water, or fill them with boiling water and let sit a few minutes.
* To prevent the sugar from re-crystallizing as it melts (in Step 1), it is best to shake it in the pan, rather than stir it with a spoon.
