Ingredients

  • 50 g grated coconut
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 5 cloves
  • 400 g evaporated milk
  • 100 ml water
  • 400 g condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp cornflour + 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 200 g evaporated milk to finish

Instructions

  • Put the coconut, cinnamon and cloves in a pot. Toast stirring constantly on low heat until the coconut is golden.
  • Add the 400g evaporated milk and water and let it boil for 10min so it infuses with the coconut, cinnamon and cloves.
  • Add the condensed milk, vanilla and cornflour dissolved in cold water and stir until it boils and thickens.
  • Add 1/4 of the mi onto the yolks and whisk fast so it doesn't curdle. Then put it back into the mix and stir over low heat for an extra 30 seconds - 1 minute so the egg yolks thicken up the mi further.
  • Finish off the heat with the extra 200g of evaporated milk at room temperature.
  • Pass through a sieve. If you like the texture of grated coconut you can put a bit back inside the mix.
  • Pour onto individual containers or a rectangular mould and freeze for 8 hours.
  • To unmould submerge the outer part of the mould, dry out and turn it onto a plate.
