Total:
1 hr 45 mins
Ingredients
- 4 cups coconut milk
- ½ cup corn kernels, drained if using canned & thawed if using frozen
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup coconut cream
Instructions
- Start with the coconut curds. Transfer the coconut cream into a skillet and bring it to a boil.
- Continue boiling for roughly 15 minutes until the oil separates from the solids.
- Once the oil separates, allow the solids to be sautéed in the oil. Sauté until golden brown.
- Drain and set aside the curds. Cool down both the crispy curds and oil completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and the cooled-down oil, except for the corn kernels. Mix until cornstarch and sugar have dissolved.
- Heat up a deep skillet and pour in the coconut milk mixture. Bring this to a simmer for roughly 15 minutes until thickened, gradually stirring to avoid it catching at the bottom.
- Once the mixture thickens, add the corn and stir until fully incorporated.
- Transfer to a serving dish of the choice and spread the mixture evenly. Allow to set in the fridge.
- Crumble the crispy curds and sprinkle on top as garnish. Serve either warm or cool depending on your preference.
