Directions
- 1
Combine the condensed milk, coconut milk, and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Whisk gently until evenly blended.
- 2
Slowly drizzle in the beaten egg yolks while stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- 3
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and the bottom of the pan is clearly visible when the spatula is drawn across it.
- 4
Remove from heat, stir in the pinch of salt, and let cool for about 10 minutes before spreading as a cake filling.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an even silkier result, strain the cream through a fine-mesh sieve before use. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
