A sweeter year

I’m back to the battle field. I take a look at everything around me and I get ready for a new year.
Sweet days will come!…

Coconut and cardamom puddings

320 ml coconut milk
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
60 g sugar
Grinded cardamom or cardamom seeds, as desired
Lichees and green pistachio to decorate

Pre-heat the oven to 180º C.
Pour some water into a large pan (for a double-boiler).
Prepare a caramel and pour it into the bottom of small pans.
Combine eggs and sugar.
Bring the coconut milk to boil with the cardamom seeds. Seive and pour into the egg mixture.
Pour into the coated pans.
Bake in a double-boiler for 40 minutes or until firm.
Unmould when cold.
