To make this Coconut Lime Custard with Fresh Lime Zest, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest

To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly pour the hot coconut milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Add the lime juice and lime zest and whisk until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture into a ramekin or small baking dish and place it in a larger baking dish. Fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekin. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Once the custard is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Garnish with additional lime zest and serve chilled.
This Coconut Lime Custard with Fresh Lime Zest is a perfect combination of creamy and tangy flavors. The coconut milk adds a rich and creamy texture, while the lime juice and zest give it a refreshing and zesty kick. This dessert is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a summer barbecue or a cozy winter night in.
