Serves 4-6
Ingredients
• Young coconut - 1, husked removed
• Thick coconut milk (santan) 100 ml (in packed form, ready-to-use)
• Fine sugar (gula pasir) - 4 Tbsp
• Egg yolks - 2
• Salt - to taste
Method
• Cut the top of the coconut and drain away the water. Set aside.
• In a pot, combine coconut milk, sugar, egg yolks and salt.
• Beat the above ingredients until well-combined.
• Pour the mixture into the coconut shell and cover it.
• Steam in a steamer for 20 minutes.
Chef's Note: Do not throw the drained coconut water away. You can drink the coconut water immediately. It has a 'cooling' effect on the body.
