I had heaps of desiccated coconut left after making lamingtons the other week so this is a different take on a classic favourite. Perfect in the Steam oven without the need for a water bath!
Ingredients:
30g soft butter
3/4 cup caster sugar
1/3 cup self-raising flour
Grated rind and juice of 1 large juicy lemon
2tbsp desiccated coconut
2 eggs, separated
2/3 cup milk
Icing sugar to dust
Method:
- Cream butter & sugar, blend in the flour, coconut, lemon rind and juice. Stir well.
- Mix the egg yolks into the milk with a fork. Add to lemon mixture.
- Whisk egg whites until stiff, these can now be gently folded into the lemon mix. Break up any lumps of egg white so it is thoroughly mixed through.
- Spoon into 5 x 3/4 cup lightly greased ramekins or 6 smaller ones, cover tightly with foil that has been greased on the underside. You don’t want the steam to leave condensation on the top. Remember this is necessary with all types of puddings, custards etc
- Place into a solid steamer tray that comes with the oven.
- Steam 100oC for 15 minutes, sprinkle with icing sugar and serve immediately. Yum… the coconut works really well and gives a little more structure to the pudding part with still plenty of sauce underneath.
You could also substitute limes for a change. You may need 2, the lemon I used here was as I said large and juicy.
