Haitian blan manje coconut custard

Blan Manje- Creamy Coconut Custard

This delicious dessert is exceptionally easy to make and will become a fan favorite. This version is very straight forward- simply served in a bowl and topped with shredded coconut. In Haiti, you can find it infused with fruit and cooled in a mold, or topped with pistachio nuts or a fruit sauce.
