Coconut and Pumpkin Custard, Sangkaya Fuk Thong

One of our favorite Thai deserts, is easily made and easily addictive. Its a simple custard made of eggs, palm sugar and coconut cream poured into a cleaned out pumpkin, and then steamed over low heat for half an hour. Let cool, slice and serve. You can also use sweet potatoes or squash.
