- 1 – 14 oz can coconut milk, not low fat and not from a carton
- 5 egg yolks
- 5 tablespoons Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes (preferably unsweetened)

- Place egg yolks in a bowl and add sugar. Whisk immediately and rapidly until smooth and well combined. While whisking gradually add coconut milk. Add vanilla extract and pinch of salt.
- Set 4 ramekins, porcelain or thick glasses into a roasting pan. Pour the coconut mixture into the ramekins. Pour water into the roasting pan until it comes 3/4 up the sides of the ramekins. Place in the oven and bake until the center of the creams no longer tremble. About 50 to 60 minutes, time will depend on depth of the ramekins used.
