Coconut Curd | Kaya(Singapore) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk (not light)
3 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar

Preparation

Whisk the sugar, yolks and coconut milk and then strain into a heatproof bowl.
Place the bowl over a pot of rapidly simmering water (don't let the water touch the bottom of the bowl). Stir often until the curd starts to thicken.
Once the curd is a bit thicker, you can stir a little less often.
Cook about 45 minutes to an hour, or until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon without running together.
Tip: If the custard doesn't seem to be thickening after 10-20 minutes, try increasing the heat.
Cool and keep refrigerated. The curd will thicken as it cools.
