EASY THAI BANANA COCONUT CUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Prepare 4 to 6 ramekins for the dessert by greasing them with a little oil. If you have banana leaves, make a lining with them by cutting two or more wide strips and pressing them into the ramekin (like a cross or a basket).
• Place the coconut milk, sugar, eggs, banana, and flavoring in a blender or food processor. Blend or process for 30 seconds. If you don't have a blender or processor, simply mix the ingredients together in a bowl with a fork or whisk for 1 minute, or until the sugar has dissolved.
• Pour the mixture into the ramekins, filling each one 3/4 full.
• Place the ramekins in a flat-bottomed glass dish (a lasagna or casserole dish works well). Fill part-way with water-up to 1/2 the height of the ramekins-and carefully place the dish in the oven.
• Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the custard has set and is firm.
• Serve the ramekins either hot, cold or at room temperature. If desired, sprinkle with a little dry shredded coconut, sweetened or unsweetened. Coconut milk is used in many Thai desserts as well as savory dishes. For those who want creaminess but are eating dairy-free, it is a useful ingredient. You may also want to make a Mango Custard and enjoy another tropical fruit flavor.
