Instructions

Place the milk, coconut cream, sugar, egg and egg yolk in a saucepan and whisk over low heat until well combined. Add the pandan juice and salt and whisk until completely incorporated. Add the cornflour and cook, whisking continuously for 7-10 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and thick.
