Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients - Start by gathering all your ingredients. Measure out the coconut cream, egg yolks, powdered sweetener, and vanilla. This will make the process smoother and quicker.
  2. Step 2: Combine the Coconut Cream and Sweetener - In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut cream and powdered sweetener. Use a whisk to mix them together until the sweetener is fully incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Heat the Mixture - Transfer the coconut cream mixture to a double boiler or a saucepan over low heat. Stir gently and continuously until it is warm but not boiling.
  4. Step 4: Whisk the Egg Yolks - While the coconut cream is heating, whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl.
  5. Step 5: Temper the Egg Yolks - Once the coconut cream is warm, slowly add a few tablespoons of the warm mixture to the egg yolks while whisking vigorously.
  6. Step 6: Combine Everything - Slowly pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining coconut cream, whisking constantly.
  7. Step 7: Cook Until Thickened - Continue to cook the custard over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
  8. Step 8: Add Vanilla - Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the vanilla bean seeds or vanilla extract.
  9. Step 9: Strain and Cool - Strain the custard through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl. Allow it to cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator.
  10. Step 10: Chill and Serve - Refrigerate the custard for at least 2-3 hours until it is set. Serve it chilled.

Notes

  • Ensure to whisk the egg yolks well to achieve a smooth custard.
  • Straining the custard enhances its texture, making it ultra-smooth.
  • This custard can be refrigerated for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
