Quick Coconut Milk Custard for One page

[SlowPoke2320]

I love the Coconut Milk Custard recipe from the Primal Blueprint Cookbook, but I think it's better to not give myself the option of eating five servings of custard at once, I tried scaling it down. The portion size worked fine, but the cooking time didn't come down much from the 40 minute baking time of the original. I've finally found the magic bullet of small, quick, and tasty without the addition of honey or maple syrup:

One egg
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp Saigon cinnamon
Shredded coconut for topping

Find a sauce pot and metal mixing bowl that will sit inside the pot without touching the bottom (going for a double-boiler method here). Start a couple of inches of water simmering in the bottom of the pan. Thoroughly beat the egg in the mixing bowl, then add coconut milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Set in the bowl in the pan and start whisking. Whisk until the mixture is thick enough that your whisk leaves a visible trail behind it (about five minutes). Chill for 10 minutes, top with shredded coconut and eat.

Nice quick treat with no "cheat" ingredients.

Thank you!! I've come to the same conclusion--the full recipe produces one of the few primal foods that I feel like eating too much of. I also realized it's tasting too sweet for me now, so I will try your sugarless version next.
