Best 8 Coconut Custard Cups Recipes

COCONUT CUSTARD RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour coconut milk into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking constantly so it doesn't burn.
• Whisk together the yolks, sugar, milk and cornstarch in a large bowl and set aside.
• Add 1/3 of your hot milk to the egg mixture and whisk to combine. Don't add all the milk or you could curdle the eggs. Slowly whisk the rest of the warm milk into the egg mixture then return the mixture to the pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened.
• Scrape the mixture into a bowl and whisk in coconut and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
• Optional: Fold in 1/4 cup stabilized whipped cream for a lighter texture once mixture is cooled.

LIME-COCONUT CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out the pie dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate; fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp as desired.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the coconut oil, half-and-half, 1¼ cups shredded coconut, the sugar, flour, lime juice and all but ½ teaspoon lime zest. Pour into the prepared crust. Bake until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes. (Tent the crust with foil if it is browning too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, 1 to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, spread the remaining 1 tablespoon shredded coconut on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat the heavy cream and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Spoon the whipped cream onto the pie. Sprinkle with the toasted coconut and reserved lime zest.

COCONUT CUSTARD CUPS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place 8 ovenproof custard cups in a large lasagna pan.
• 2. Divide the coconut into the custard cups. If someone doesn't like coconut, leave it out of theirs. =^..^=
• 3. In a large (8 cup) measuring cup or mixing bowl, put the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Mix well with a mixer or a whisk. Divide equally into the custard cups.
• 4. If desired, sprinkle with nutmeg. (Actually, I only put it on the cups without coconut, but suit yourself.)
• 5. Set the pan of custard cups on a pulled out oven shelf.
• 6. Fill a pitcher with hot tap water and CAREFULLY pour the hot water into the large pan to a depth of about 1 inch, taking care that the water doesn't go into the custard cups.
• 7. CAREFULLY push the oven shelf back in place, close the oven door, and set the timer for about 45 minutes. Check with a knife to see if the knife comes out clean. If not, bake a few more minutes & check again.
• 8. If you want browned coconut, once the custard is done, turn on the broiler and crack open the oven door. Just stand there & watch closely because when the coconut browns, it will happen QUICKLY! Cups without coconut should be removed before browning with the broiler.
• 9. Once the custard is perfect for you, carefully remove each custard cup from the water bath & cool on a baking rack. When the custard has cooled, refrigerate until ready to serve.

• 3. In a medium saucepan, heat milk to just below simmering over medium heat.

• 5. Pour into the casserole. Pour boiling water into baking dish to about 1-inch depth.
• 6. Bake 45-50 minutes, or until knife inserted into center comes out clean.
• 7. Remove casserole to a wire rack and cool 1 hour.
• 8. Serve with whipped topping, if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
• 9. NOTE: Can be made in 4 8-oz. custard cups. Bake only 30-35 minutes.

EASY COCONUT CUSTARDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in oven, tossing once or twice, until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 2 tablespoons for garnish.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook milk and sugar, stirring often, until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to bubble around the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in coconut. Cover tightly; let stand 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let soften, about 5 minutes. Strain warm coconut mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into gelatin mixture (left). Whisk until gelatin dissolves, then whisk in the half-and-half, vanilla, and salt.
• Divide among four 8-ounce ramekins or custard cups; refrigerate until set, about 3 hours. When ready to serve, unmold. Sprinkle with reserved coconut.

TOASTED COCONUT CAKE WITH COCONUT FILLING AND BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour two 9-inch-by-2-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Whisk together the milk, egg whites, vanilla seeds and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the 2 1/4 cups flour, the sugar, baking powder and salt. With the mixer running on low speed, add the 12 tablespoons butter, one piece at a time, and continue beating until the mixture resembles moist crumbs. Add all but 1/2 cup of the milk mixture and beat on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 1 1/2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the remaining 1/2 cup milk mixture. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 30 seconds more. Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix for 20 seconds longer. Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans and smooth the tops with a rubber spatula.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs attached, 22 to 24 minutes. Cool in the pans on a baking rack for 10 minutes. Run a small knife around the sides of the pans and invert the cakes onto the baking rack. Remove the parchment paper and let cool completely, about 45 minutes.
• Make the coconut filling: Combine the Coconut Custard and cream in a bowl and whip until soft peaks form.
• Make the coconut buttercream: Beat the butter and confectioners' sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the Coconut Custard and salt; beat until the buttercream is smooth.
• Assemble the cake: Use a long serrated knife to slice each cake horizontally into 2 layers. Reserve one of the flat bottom layers for the top of the cake. Place another one of the layers on a cardboard round, cut-side up, and brush with some of the Coconut Simple Syrup. Spoon one-third of the coconut filling onto the cake, and using a small offset metal spatula, spread it into an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the cake. Repeat with 2 more layers. Brush the cut side of the reserved cake layer with the remaining syrup. Place the layer, cut-side down, on top of the cake. Frost the sides and the top of the cake with the buttercream. Pat the toasted coconut onto the sides of the cake and sprinkle some on the top.
• 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.
• Combine 1 1/2cups water and the sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the coconut, remove from the heat and let sit for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Strain the liquid into a clean saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until the mixture is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
