Sweet coconut cream :: Crema dulce de coco

When it comes the summer, we put aside sponge cakes and bring out all the fresh sweets we know. You never can miss a candy after a good meal ;)

Ingredients (4 px)

• 400 ml of milk
• 3 eggs yolk
• 40 gr of white sugar
• 15 gr of cornstarch
• 40 gr of shredded coconut
• cocoa powder for dusting

Elaboration
Grab a pot and pour the milk. Right away, add the coconut, mix it to boiling stirring with a wooden spoon. 
NOTE: you will notice, some pictures above, that the pot is a different one. This is because I was heating the milk maximum power, got distracted with I-don't-remember-what and the milk spilled. So, be focused on the cooking ;)

Meanwhile, we beat the yolks with the sugar and the cornstrach. 

Once all the ingredients are nicely integrated, we are pouring the mixture into the pot with the heated milk and mix over low heat until thickened.

Split the cream into four cups and we will wait till the cream cools slightly. Then, put them in the fridge for 2-3 hours and they are ready to enjoy!

Just before serving, sprinkle the cups with a little cocoa powder and you will have a very nice chocolate touch!

Hope you enjoyed this recipe Spanish Kitchenetters!
