Coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract and shredded coconut
Warm coconut milk and sugar over medium heat in a saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Do not let it boil.
In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in a little coconut milk, ensuring no lumps.
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan, stirring continuously until it thickens.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.
Optionally, strain the custard to remove any lumps and achieve a silky consistency.
Pour into bowls, let it cool, then refrigerate until set. Enjoy your creamy coconut custard!
