Directions
1. Pre-heat your oven to 340°F (170°C).
2. Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk and milk and heat gently to a simmer. Cut the fire and add chopped chocolate, whisking vigorously to get a homogenous mixture. Add the egg mixture and whisk again, until the texture is smooth (you can use an immersion blender if needed).
3. Divide the custard into ramekins and add a few drops of lemon juice on top. Transfer into a rimmed baking pan (or a springform pan) filled half way with hot water. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until set but still a little bit runny in the center. Allow to cool down and serve at room temperature or chilled in the refrigerator. Sprinkle with shredded coconut and cocoa powder just before serving.
