How you do it:
- In a heavy saucepan, add the milk, the sugar and the cornstarch and mix well, until both sugar and cornstarch has dissolved.
- In a cup, mix the coconut milk and the egg yolks together well.
- Place the saucepan at medium heat and stir. Incorporate the coconut milk & yolk mixture. Continue stirring until it has begun to thicken.
- Keep stirring until all has incorporated well and large bubbles come up to the surface. Remove from fire and add the extract, mix well.
- Pass through a sieve to remove whatever lumps are in. Add the dried coconut and mix well.
- Place in crust and let it cool for half an hour at room temperature. After that, you can put it in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
- Take out of fridge 20 mins before serving.
- Enjoy!
