RECIPE:
Sugar syrup: (on medium heat)
1 cup granulated sugar (melt down then add hot water)
1 cup hot water
-Remove from heat then add vanilla and coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 can coconut milk

Wet: combine in separate bowl

Steam for 1 hour and 20 mins on high.
I used a steamer pot but you can also fill a pan half way with water and place your foil covered Puteni in it and bake at 350 for 1 hour and 20 mins, depending on how hot your oven gets just make sure to check it.

This is how I make my Custard:
1/2 cup of custard
2 1/2 cup of milk
(Whisk together before placing in pot over medium heat)
Continue to whisk until thickens then add sugar.
1/2 cup of sugar
(You can add more milk or water if you want it less thick)
