Custard with coconut flakes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare simple products. I have homemade eggs - that’s why the cream turns out a rich yellow color. If you want a not very sweet cream, you can reduce the amount of sugar to 100 g. To change the taste of the cream, you can add any filling to it: vanilla, cocoa, coconut.

2. STEP 2

   

   Egg - separate yolks and whites. We don't need whites in this recipe. You can freeze them and then use them in baking, after defrosting them first, of course. In a saucepan, combine egg yolks, sugar, flour and coconut.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix everything until relatively homogeneous - you will get crumbs like this. You won't achieve smoothness yet. Pour the milk into another saucepan and heat almost to a boil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour some hot milk into our mixture and begin to mix thoroughly with a whisk. If you want, use a mixer to make sure there are no lumps left.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add all the remaining milk and mix well. Place the saucepan on the fire. First, you can make the heat high so that the mass boils, then reduce it to below medium and cook our cream. Do not leave for a second and stir with a whisk all the time. You need to cook it for about 5 minutes, that’s what I did. It thickened before our eyes. Don't forget that the finished chilled cream will be even thicker.

6. STEP 6

   

   This is the cream I had when I turned off the heat.

7. STEP 7

   

   As the custard cools, it forms a crust on top. To prevent this from happening, you need to cover the cream in the container with cling film right next to it so that the film lies tightly on the cream. Leave it until it cools completely.

8. STEP 8

   

   Here is our finished custard without oil. It is very tasty, aromatic, thick and dense. It can be used as a filling in custard pies, coated with it on Napoleon cake layers, or simply served with fresh fruits and berries as a dessert. As you can see, preparing this cream is not at all difficult. This set of products yields approximately 500 grams of a wonderful delicacy.
