Coconut Custard in Three Tasty Flavours (Dairy Gluten and Egg Free)

This is a pouring consistency custard. For an egg-free version, use 1 teaspoon of (wheat-free) corn flour for each egg yolk. If you are used to the yellowy colour of custard, add a tablespoon or so of carrot juice to the coconut cream.
