I did as users suggested and made the recipe with coconut milk, as it turned out my can was 2.5 cups. I did the 5 minute microwave trick and stirred every minute, that was a great suggestion. I also used the suggestion of adding coconut extract to my whipped cream, that was great. I wasn't sure how much whipping cream to use, so I used two cups- it wasn't quite enough. Next time I will use 2.5 or maybe even 3 cups; I think that will be perfect.
One thing I did that I feel made it better was puree the coconut. I did not toast the coconut I put in the custard, instead I put it in the food processor with my sugar and I LOVED it! The texture of coconut bothers me, so I love that trick. I did not sub corn starch for the flour, but I will next time- it didn't set up quite as well as I would have liked.
We loved this- and I will make it again....and again.
