Chocolate and Coconut Custards

Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 2 cups (500ml) milk
  • 1/2 cup (115g) caster sugar
  • 3/4 cup (120g) coarsely grated dark cooking chocolate
  • 1/2 cup (45g) desiccated coconut
  • 3 eggs
  • Cocoa powder, to dust

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat the milk in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the sugar, chocolate, coconut and eggs in a heatproof bowl until well combined.
  3. Slowly add the hot milk to the chocolate mixture, stirring until well combined.
  4. Divide the mixture into 4 x 1 cup (250ml) or 8 x 1/2 cup (125ml) ramekins or ovenproof dishes. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish. Pour enough water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the custard is set. Remove the ramekins from the dish. Serve warm dusted with cocoa.
