Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Grease a mini cupcake mold with butter and coat it with sugar.

  4. Pour the coconut mixture into the prepared cupcake mold, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

  5. Place the cupcake mold into a roasting pan that is about 1 inch larger than the cupcake mold.

  6. Pour hot tap water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cupcake mold, approximately 1 inch.

  8. Allow the custard to cool on a wire rack until it can be easily removed from the mold.

  10. Refrigerate the custards until they are chilled.

  11. Grana Padano can be used as a substitute for Parmesan cheese.
