Steps:
- Bring the pineapple juice to a boil in a small saucepan and reduce until it measures 1/4 of a cup; once reduced, cool and reserve.
- Combine the milk, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring up to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Dissolve the cornstarch into the cooled pineapple juice, whisk to make sure there are no lumps and then whisk into the simmering milk mixture.
- Continue to simmer and stir until the mixture begins to thicken, about 10 minutes.
- Add some of the milk mixture to the egg yolks, mix and then add the egg yolks to the pot, stirring all the while.
- Raise the heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture is very thick and puddinglike.
- Remove immediately from the heat and pour into a dessert bowl. Refrigerate at least four hours or overnight.
- Dust with nutmeg before serving.

Steps:
- 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.

SAKHON'S NOODLES
This is named after a dear student of mine who was originally from Cambodia. We had lunch in a Cambodian restaurant once and this is my "NO AUTHENTIC INGREDIENTS" copy of the recipe. At the time, fish sauce and such were not readily available even in California, so I faked it, but it turned out really well. My Cambodian and Vietnamese friends approve. It's a fast easy weeknight dish and is very open to whatever veggies you have in the fridge. (I love shredded carrots, cucumber, zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes....) What's best about it is that when I cook it I remember this troubled kid who finally made it :)

- Remove from heat once all the sugar has dissolved and the sugar is golden brown.

COLOMBIAN PINEAPPLE CUSTARD
A simple and delicious dessert from South American Food and Cooking. When I made this it did set, but was not really firm, so it would be best to invert these into a small bowl. This also is not a creamy type of custard - has some of the pineapple texture to it.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic produce whenever possible.
- Don't Overcook the Custard: The custard should be cooked until it is just set. Overcooked custard will be rubbery and tough.
- Let the Custard Cool Completely: Before you put the custard in the refrigerator, let it cool completely to room temperature. This will help prevent the custard from cracking.
- Serve the Custard Chilled: Cambodian pineapple custard is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Cambodian pineapple custard is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and beautiful presentation, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
