From the Test Kitchen

This rich, creamy custard gets it sweet, nutty flavor from a duo of coconut milk and semi-sweet chocolate—slowly mixed with eggs to develop its deliciously light, pudding-like texture. We're topping it with a sprinkle of pan-toasted coconut flakes for exciting texture and more rich flavor.
