Coconut Custard Recipe

Coconut Custard

 Ingredients

 4 eggs
    1/3 cup sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    3 cups milk
    1 cup flaked coconut
    1 dash ground nutmeg
    MELBA SAUCE:
    5 teaspoons cornstarch
    1/3 cup cold water
    2 cups fresh raspberries or thawed frozen unsweetened raspberries
    2/3 cup sugar
    1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

   In a bowl, beat eggs. Add sugar, salt and vanilla. Gradually add milk; mix well. Stir in coconut. Place six ungreased 10-oz. ramekins or custard cups in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Fill each with about 3/4 cup coconut mixture. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Fill larger pan with boiling water to a depth of 1 in. Bake at 325 degrees F for 30-40 minutes or until center is just set (mixture will jiggle). Remove ramekins from pan to a wire rack.
    In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Add raspberries, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; strain if desired. Cool. Serve over custard.

 note

 i recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212 degrees F. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.
    A stand mixer is recommended for beating the frosting after it reaches 160*.
