This rich coconut custard is so delicious and creamy without the dairy! I use it as a filling for my Coconut Custard Cake, but it is also amazing on its own!

Yum! This looks so good! Does it keep long?
This will keep for at least 3 days in the fridge. Enjoy!
Hi Kim! Thanks for pointing that out! I have a friend that usually proof reads for me, but I don’t think she checked this one. All fixed!
As for the color, you may have used coconut palm sugar instead of coconut sugar. These names are used interchangeably, so it can be confusing. Palm sugar has a much darker color than coconut sugar and a little more of a molasses flavor. They are interchangeable if you like the taste and don’t mind the color difference. If you want lighter color, it is best to choose which one to buy based on the color you see in the bag. You can also use maple syrup or raw honey if you like. My photo is under a photo light which brightens it up too:)
Be well!
