Coconut-Lime Pouding Chômeur with Toasted Coconut (Québécois × Caribbean)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C for 10 min. Grease a Ø 15 cm baking dish, at least 6 cm deep, with a little of the butter and set it on a tray. Stir the canned coconut milk well, as the cream separates in the can.

2. In a saucepan at least three times their volume, bring the maple syrup and most of the coconut milk to the boil over medium heat, about 4 min, then let it bubble for 1 minute, watching closely. Turn off the heat and keep hot.

5. Spread the batter in the dish and slowly pour the hot maple-coconut sauce over the back of a spoon so it covers the top evenly. The batter will rise through it as it bakes.

6. Bake in the oven for 25 min, until golden on top, springy, and a skewer in the cake part comes out clean, with the sauce bubbling at the edges.

7. While it rests for 10 minutes, toast the remaining coconut in a dry frying pan on medium-low heat for 2 min, stirring constantly, until evenly golden; it burns quickly, so tip it out at once. Scatter over the pudding and serve warm with lime wedges to squeeze over.
