This easy to made Thai dessert is commonly found for sale in the local evening food markets across Thailand. Sweet and silky creamy coconut custard steamed inside a small pumpkin. This is a healthy dessert with vitamin and fiber of pumpkin, it relies on simple ingredients and quite easy cooking to create a perfect balance of both texture. Makes a great Halloween or Thanksgiving dessert recipe, and a nice alternative to pumpkin pie.
Ingredients
- 1 Pumpkin ( About 1 kg )
- 100 g Palm Sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 160 ml Thick Coconut Cream
Preparation
1. Cut the top off the pumpkin and carefully scoop out the seeds, then rinse well.
2. Place the pumpkin upside down in a steamer and steam for about 15 ~ 20 mins until partly cooked. Remove and turn upright to allow any steam to escape.
3. In a small saucepan, mix the palm sugar with coconut cream and salt. Gently warm this mixture over a low heat to a little above room temperature. Let it cool.
4. Beat the egg, add to the cold coconut mixture and stir well, the strain it. Pour into the pumpkin and steam gently for about 20 ~ 30 mins until the custard is cooked; it should be softly set, with a light wobble if you nudge the pumpkin. If you find the custard needs a little more time, wipe dry the inside of the steamer lid before replacing it, so no water drips on to the custard as it steams.
5. When it is done, lift off the entire steamer basket and place on a large plate. Leave the custard-filled pumpkin to cool completely before chill in the fridge.
6. The custard will be more firm when it is cold. Cut into wedges to serve it room temperature or chilled.
Reminder
- Make sure you have enough room for the pumpkin with the pot lid closed.
- Small pumpkin can shorten the cooking time. Depends on size of pumpkin, the right cooking time may take some experimentation.
- Make sure you use the thickest coconut cream, otherwise the custard could split and it will never really set firmly once it has cooled.
請問如用迷你南瓜仔,蒸時間係咪要減少?
容積小可以減少蒸的時間
咁即係要蒸幾耐?
先減一半時間,未凝固再加長,每個南瓜容積不同,要自己試唷 ~
我剛剛跟著做…蒸了二十分鐘……不行,再蒸十分鐘……還不行,心都灰了!就由它放在鍋內保溫,又過了十分鐘…開始像樣了!我再開火蒸幾分鐘……大功告成!!多謝妳的食譜啊!
要糕餅要用大火,否則需要很長時間才熟
有啊!我是用最猛火的啊!謝謝妳!
请问可以用白砂糖代替椰糖吗? 味道会不会差一点?
白砂榶當然沒那麼好
Coconut milk or cream can replace with milk?
可以
請問椰槳是coconut cream 嗎
Cassie
coconut cream, 水和椰漿的比例是 1:4
coconut milk 是 1:1
兩者都可以用
