Order nowAlthough it contains the word ‘nut’ coconut is not part of the tree nut family so allergies are very rare. Coconut is very high in virus fighting lauric acid – much like the composition of breastmilk, so it’s the perfect first food! It’s very nutritious, high in fatty acids that help keep the gut healthy, high in minerals, fiber, vitamins and amino acids. You can offer baby coconut cream straight off the spoon or use it to cook with! It makes a stew that much richer and delicious and the fats will help the body absorb the stews nutrients.
Here I’ve made a coconut and banana custard!
Make sure you buy coconut milk that has no additives! I use the brand ‘honest to goodness’ or Ayam, which have a good mixture of cream and milk in the can!

If making for a toddler (over 1) you can add 1 TBSP maple syrup to make more tasty

Hello. Would this be freezable? Thinking it would be good to have these on hand for either breakfast or a snack but as we are a little time pour, making them in a batch would mean we would actually be able to have them!
Emma says:
Hello! I have tried this a few times and whilst they taste delicious I can barely get them out of the moulds as they are quite wet even after cooking for 1 hour. Any tips?
Chris says:
Same deal. Are the quantities correct? I follow the recipe but they don't set.
Pa says:
I put the pan with water in the oven while it heated up and i also set the oven to 350farenheit which seems to be about 170 Celsius and they turned out great.
Wondering if the temp in the recipe needs to be clarified.
Hope that helps!

Yes, try a silicone mould :) they pop out quite easy! they are meant to be quite soft for baby
Luka McCabe says:
I recommend a silicone mould x
Luka McCabe says:
I dont think they would freeze well unfortunately!
Tash says:
Can this be used as the first time for introducing yolk?
Luka McCabe says:
If you have introduced the other ingredients with no reactions, then yes :)
Mon says:
Hey lovely! Is this ok for a first food for a 6 m/o :)? x
Luka McCabe says:
I wouldn't do as a first food, as it contains egg yolk which is an allergenic, however once egg yolk has been successfully introduced a few times then it is an appropriate food! xx
Simone says:
Hi Luka! Just wondering what vanilla bean paste you'd recommend? x
Jay Tai says:
What could you use instead of egg yolk as my little boy is allergic. Thanks x
Lucy says:
Hi Luka,
Could you use Kultured Wellness coconut yoghurt instead of the coconut milk and cream?

Aloy Hale says:
Any egg replacement recommendation for egg allergy?
Kelly says:
Try a chia egg, 1 egg is 1:3 (1TBSP chia and 3TBSP water let it sit for 20 min and then add as substitute for egg) works really well in all my recipes I have tried with a chia egg.
Luka McCabe says:
not for this recipe sorry!
Luka McCabe says:
ive never used an egg replacer im sorry but if you tried it and it worked let me know!
