Whisk together this quick and easy coconut cream recipe.

Then let each family member fill their own crepe and decorate it!

Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups of skim milk
  • ¼ cup of cream
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ⅔ cup of sugar
  • 4 tbsp of cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp of butter
  • 1 tbsp of vanilla
  • 1 cup of finely shredded coconut, lightly sweetened
  • ½ cup of toasted coconut, optional for garnish
  • ½ cup of fruit purée, optional for garnish
  • 6 dessert crepes


    • Mix sugar and cornstarch together, breaking up any lumps. Place in a medium saucepan. Whisk together yolks, milk and cream separately and add to sugar-cornstarch mixture.

    Cook over medium heat. Using whisk, stir only occasionally, but take care that the mixture does not boil and remains at a steady simmer. After 5 minutes, stir constantly until it comes to a boil, for another 5 minutes. Let boil for one minute, continuing to stir.

    Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla, and coconut. Place in a medium bowl and lay a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the custard to keep a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. After it has cooled, remove plastic wrap and whisk again to soften.
