Three Milks Coconut Custard Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, coconut milk, milk, water, and eggs. Blend with an electric mixer just until smooth. If you over mix, bubbles will form on the surface of the custard. Stir in the white sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract, coconut extract, and almond extract. Pour into 8 custard cups or ramekins.
• Place the custard filled dishes onto a baking sheet with tall sides, or in a casserole dish. Place the dish in the oven, and fill with hot water so that it comes halfway up the sides of the custard dishes.
• Bake for about 40 minutes in the preheated oven, checking the water level occasionally so it doesn't dry out. The custard is done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove ramekins from the water bath as soon as they are done, or they will continue to cook. You can leave the water bath in the oven until it cools off for safer removal.

Steps:

• Combine the milk, coconut milk and vanilla bean and seeds in a medium nonreactive saucepan; bring to a simmer over low heat.
• Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch together in a large bowl. Slowly whisk the warm milk into the egg mixture. Return the mixture to the pan, set it over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened. Scrape the mixture into a bowl, remove the vanilla bean and whisk in the rum and vanilla extract. Let the custard cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put water on to boil for a water bath. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, coconut cream, pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Divide the mixture among six 6-ounce Pyrex cups or custard cups and place them in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Carefully pour boiling water into the baking pan to come half way up the sides of cups. Bake, uncovered, until the custards are just set, about 40 minutes.
• Remove the custards from the water bath and let cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. To serve, top each custard with a dollop of whipped cream, if using.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325F.
• Make the caramel: Cook the sugar in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, swirling the pan constantly, until brown.
• Stir the hot water into the caramel, being careful to guard against splattering (the mixture will bubble vigorously).
• Boil the mixture, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the caramel syrup into a 1-quart souffle dish or five 4-ounce ramekins.
• Tilt the molds to coat all of the surfaces with caramel.
• Make the custard: Combine the coconut milk, milk and sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat.
• Scald until the sugar dissolves completely.
• Remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla.
• Gradually whisk the hot coconut milk mixture into the eggs, blending thoroughly.
• Strain the custard through a fine sieve into a bowl.
• Carefully pour into the caramel-lined souffle dish or ramekins.
• Line a large roasting pan with 2 layers of paper towels (see Note).
• Put the souffle dish in the roasting pan and add hot water to reach halfway up the side of the dish.
• Bake in the center of the oven for 50 minutes (30 minutes if using ramekins), or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Be careful not to let the water boil; do not disturb the custard while baking.
• This is the only"secret" to producing a smooth and velvety custard.
• Remove the souffle dish immediately from the hot water.
• Allow to cool in a cold-water bath.
• Chill thoroughly.
• To serve, run a knife around the edge of the custard and turn out onto dessert plates.
• Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
• Note: The paper towels in the roasting pan serve a twofold purpose: First, they allow the hot water to circulate under the souffle dish while baking to distribute the heat evenly; second, if using small ramekins, it stabilizes them and keeps them from moving around while baking.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• In a bowl, dump coconut and add milk to it, let set until coconut soaks up the milk.
• Beat sugar and eggs together, then add vanilla.
• Add coconut to the egg mixture. Bake for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat eggs. Add sugar, salt and vanilla. Gradually add milk; mix well. Stir in coconut. Place six ungreased 10-oz. ramekins or custard cups in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Fill each with about 3/4 cup coconut mixture. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Fill larger pan with boiling water to a depth of 1 in. Bake at 325° for 30-40 minutes or until center is just set (mixture will jiggle). Remove ramekins from pan to a wire rack., In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Add raspberries, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; strain if desired. Cool. Serve over custard.
