Number Of Ingredients 6

4 eggs
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup palm sugar or 1/2 cup light brown sugar

  • Pre heat oven to 350* F.
  • Place eggs, coconut milk, sugar, palm sugar, vanilla and pineapple together in a blender, and puree until smooth.
  • Pour mixture into small greased custard bowls and place on a baking sheet with a rim. Pour hot water in baking sheet so the custard bowls have water 1/3 of the way up their sides.
  • Bake for an hour or until a knife comes out clean.
  • Cool completely and refrigerate until ready to serve. Unmold onto plates and serve cold - I think it would be pretty to serve with fresh fruit and mint as a garnish.
