Creamy Coconut Dessert Delight

Ingredients

2 cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)

1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Custard Base

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt.

Whisk the mixture over medium heat until it thickens, ensuring there are no lumps.

Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 2: Incorporate the Coconut

Add the shredded coconut to the custard mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.

Pour the mixture into a glass baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 3: Chill and Set

Cover the dish with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Before serving, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over the top for added texture and flavor (optional).

Scoop out servings with a spoon, ensuring each portion has a generous amount of creamy custard and coconut.

Tips for Success

For a richer flavor, use coconut milk in place of whole milk.

Adjust the sweetness by using sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut according to your preference.

To add a bit of crunch, consider mixing in some crushed graham crackers or cookies into the custard before setting.
