Dinner with Jean & Roy! #5
#11
  Re: (...)
At last! The dessert! By now I think there had been enough wine served to make us forget to take a picture of this! Take my word for it, this is so easy - so incredibly good! This will be the "go to" dessert around here for a long time!

Coconut Pumpkin "custard" Brulee

Yield:
6 - 2/3 cup servings

Time:
10 minutes to assemble
40 minutes to bake
Total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:
1 can Coconut Milk
1 cup canned packed pumpkin (not pie mix)
3/4 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coconut extract
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Cinnamon sugar (for garnish)

Equipment:
6 - 1 cup oven proof custard cups

Directions: (Click on any image to enlarge.)
1 Preheat oven to 350F.
2 With a mixer or whisk, beat Coconut Milk, pumpkin, sugar, eggs, salt, extract and nutmeg until well mixed. Fill each custard cup with 2/3 cup of pumpkin mixture and lightly sprinkle top with cinnamon sugar.
3 Make a water bath by filling a 9" x 13" baking dish with 4 cups of hot water. Place each filled custard cup in baking dish.
4 Carefully place baking dish in oven and bake for 35 - 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center of the custard comes out clean.
Note: For an extra fancy presentation sprinkle each 'cold' custard with a teaspoon of sugar. Melt sugar with a torch or under a broiler until just golden. Watch the heating process carefully, as the sugars can turn from golden to burned very quickly. We didn't do the cinnamon - just plain sugar. I'll try the cinnamon/sugar on the ones I have left tonight.

A funny story: I sent Lorraine a tie-dyed flour sacking dish towel and matching bar rag. She thought the dish towel was a scarf and wore it to work around her neck. Everybody just loved her new "scarf!" I later sent her a matching rayon "scarf" so she didn't have to tell the people at work it was a dish towel By-the-way, I promised never to tell anyone this story, but have told everyone I know
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

Ok I'm just gonna have to drag hubby up that way and have dinner with you all because it looks like you guys have the best times!

What a fun event and everything looks wonderful! I've never seen a banana flower before and would probably have to travel a long way to find one.
