Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
-
In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and kaffir lime leaves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, salt, lime zest, and lime juice.
-
Slowly pour the hot coconut milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
-
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve back into the saucepan.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
-
Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
-
Divide the custard among four ramekins or small bowls.
-
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
-
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the custards are set.
-
Remove from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
-
Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
-
Serve chilled and garnish with additional kaffir lime leaves, if desired.
