Best Best Pudim De Coco Recipes

PUDIM DE COCO (COCONUT PUDDING - EAST TIMOR)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat 1 cup of sugar, slowly, in a heavy skillet, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until sugar melts and is free of lumps. When the sugar turns a caramel color, remove it from the heat and pour it into a 6-cup mold. Set aside.
• Beat the eggs with 2 cups sugar, until fluffy. Place flour in a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons coconut milk, one at a time until mixture is smooth. Add the flour mixture to the coconut milk, mix well and then add to the egg mixture. Pour mixture over into mold over caramelized sugar. Place the mold in a large baking pan filled with 1 inch of hot water to create a bain-marie. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from water bath immediately. Cool for 20 minutes then invert onto a serving dish and chill for 6 to 8 hours. To serve, sprinkle with freshly grated coconut if desired.
• Cook's Note: Instead of grating a fresh coconut I have used frozen fresh coconut found the freezer department of most supermarkets. It works just as well.

Steps:

• Oil a tube pan or souffle dish. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan combine sugar and water. Heat over medium-high until sugar melts and turns golden brown. Pour the caramel into the oiled pan and let harden.
• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Whisk together the other ingredients. Pour into the caramel-lined pan. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Fill a roasting pan halfway with hot water. Put the tube pan in the bain-marie and bake at 350 F for one hour, or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
• With foil still on top, put the pudim into the refrigerator overnight.
• Unmold onto a serving platter and serve. (If you have trouble with this try putting the bottom of the pan in warm water to loosen the caramel.
