Coconut and Lime Baked Custard
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
-
In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk, lime zest, and lime juice over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Slowly pour in the warm coconut milk mixture while whisking continuously.
-
Divide the custard mixture among 6 ramekins or oven-safe dishes. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
-
Refrigerate the custards for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set completely.
-
Before serving, sprinkle each custard with shredded coconut and garnish with lime slices if desired.
