3. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together yolks, eggs and sugar. Remove coconut cream mixture from the heat and slowly add to egg mixture, whisking as you go.
4. Stand the mixture for 5 minutes then skim any bubbles from the surface.
5. Pour the custard evenly into the dariole moulds and cover with
aluminium foil.
6. Place into the Steam Oven and Steam at 85°C for 35 minutes or until custards are set.
