Thai Coconut Pudding- Custard, or 'Khanom Mo Kaeng' in Thai, is a classic dessert that is popular in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. It's made with coconut milk, eggs, and sugar, and often flavored with pandan leaves or rose water. This version is a simplified recipe that uses brown sugar and vanilla or rose essence. You can also add fresh grated coconut for extra texture and flavor. The result is a smooth and creamy custard that is mildly sweet and fragrant. Thai Coconut Pudding- Custard is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth after a spicy Thai meal or as a snack on its own. It's also a great dessert option for vegan and gluten-free diets, as long as the eggs are replaced with a vegan egg substitute.
