Coconut Cream Filling

The coconut cream filling is the main attraction in this donuts recipe. It's made with coconut milk, sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, coconut emulsion, vanilla, and a bit of salt. Whisking it over medium heat makes it thick and smooth.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon coconut emulsion
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Notes

After making the coconut cream filling, it goes into a bowl. It's covered and chilled in the fridge until it's time to use it. This coconut dessert filling complements the light donut dough beautifully. Together, they make a tasty coconut pastry.
