Method

  1. 1

    Chill. Butter an 20 cm square baking dish. Tip in coconut milk, milk, and vanilla to blender. Blend for around 30 second to well mix. Pour mixture into a mid-sized saucepan and beat in sugar and corn starch. Heat over mid-sized while beating the whole time till mixture begins to thicken. Reduce heat to low plus heat for 10 extra minutes, continuously beating. Pour into ready baking dish and lightly shake back and forth to settle. Leave till it is cold uncovered on the counter for around 10 minutes next cover with cling film and chill till firm, around 1 hour. Cut into 16 equal-sized squares using a sharp knife. Scatter with toasted coconut, if wanted. Eat cold.

Storage
