Main ingredients
- Nonstick vegetable spray oil optional but handy to keep things from sticking
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch to help thicken things nicely
- 1 cup milk for that creamy base
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut for texture and flavor
- 3 large eggs to get that custard richness locked in
- 1 cup granulated sugar for that sweet kick
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter to keep things smooth
- ΒΌ teaspoon lemon extract plus a pinch of salt to brighten the flavors up
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use nonstick spray on your muffin tin lightly if desired.
Whisk cornstarch with milk in a medium bowl until smooth. Add shredded coconut, eggs, sugar, melted butter, lemon extract, and salt, mixing well.
Pour the mixture evenly into muffin cups, filling about three-quarters full.
Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until tops are golden and set.
Let them cool before removing from the tin.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Reheat gently and try a quick broil for a minute or two to refresh crisp edges.
