Method
step 1
Butter six small pudding basins and spoon 1 tbsp jam into the bottom of each one.
step 2
Put the butter and sugar in a medium bowl and beat with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Beat in one of the eggs followed by a spoonful of the flour, then continue until all the eggs have been incorporated. Fold in the remaining flour, the coconut and a pinch of salt, then the vanilla and coconut cream. Spoon the mix into the prepared basins, leaving a 1cm gap at the top.
step 3
Put the basins on a baking tray, transfer to the freezer and freeze until solid. Will keep in an airtight container, or tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to three months.
step 4
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Put the basins in a deep baking dish and half-fill with boiled water from the kettle. Tightly cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hr, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of a sponge comes out clean.
step 5
Warm the custard with the remaining 2 tbsp coconut cream, if using, and pour into shallow bowls. Run a knife around the sides of the basins and carefully turn out the sponges onto the custard.
