Ingredients

For the custard

• Coconut milk: 400 ml
• Shredded coconut: 100 g
• Sugar: 150 g
• Cornstarch (corn starch): 3 tablespoons

In case you don't have cornstarch, you can substitute it with rice flour or tapioca starch, which will help thicken the mixture without altering the original flavor. If coconut milk is difficult to find, a homemade mixture of cow's milk with coconut cream can work, but always trying to maintain the balance of flavor and texture.

Serve in individual dishes and refrigerate for at least an hour before enjoying. Accompany with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of cinnamon. It's a dessert that truly highlights the SaborCoco that everyone loves.

I want to share these tips with you

• Sweetness balance: Adjust the sugar to your taste, but remember that coconut milk already provides natural sweetness.
• Avoid lumps: When adding coconut milk to the dry ingredients, mix constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
• Perfect texture: Cook over medium heat and don't neglect the custard; constant stirring ensures a creamy texture and no scorching at the bottom.
• Smart substitutions: Cornstarch is essential for thickening without a strong flavor; avoid substituting it with common flour to not alter the DulceNatilla.
• Using shredded coconut: If using fresh shredded coconut, make sure to wash it well to remove impurities.

5 keys to make it perfect

• Use natural coconut milk: The flavor and creaminess depend heavily on the quality of the coconut.
• Whisk before cooking: To properly integrate the cornstarch and avoid lumps, careful whisking is essential.
• Control the heat: Cooking over medium heat helps the mixture thicken evenly without burning.
• Stir constantly: Continuous stirring prevents the bottom from burning and maintains the CremasTropico texture.
• Rest before refrigerating: Allowing the custard to rest in the pot helps it become even creamier and more homogeneous.
