Instructions

  • 1.   Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
  • 2.   In a bowl, mix the sugar and coconut milk with the spices. This may take 2 to 3 minutes, to fully dissolve the sugar.
  • 3.   Crack and whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. Pour them into the previous mixture. Mix again.
  • 4.   Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth, sieve, or fine mesh strainer.
  • 5.   Grease small ramekins or bowls and pour the mixture into them.
  • 6.   Place the ramekins in a baking dish filled halfway with water and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. As soon as your custard starts to brown, insert a toothpick. If it comes out clean, your custards are ready!
  • 7.   Let cool and refrigerate before serving with crushed cashews.
