1 tsp. Vanilla Paste (or extract)
200ml Water

Method
Coconut Custard
- Combine the water and the cornflower, mix well to ensure the cornflour is fully dissolved. Leave to one side.
- Then, in a saucepan, pour the coconut milk and add the sugar and vanilla and bring to simmer.
- Next, pour the cornflour mixture slowly into the saucepan while mixing with a whisk. Turn down the heat, to low. The mixture will thicken very quickly, keep mixing for 1-2 minutes.
- Next, pour the mixture into a glass or your preferred serving bowl.
- Cover with cling film, while still hot, to avoid any crust forming. Cool down to room temp then transfer to the fridge and leave for at least 3 hours.
Topping
- Preheat the oven to 150C.
- In a small roasting dish, place the rhubarb, the sugar, orange peel and juice and mix. Cover with tin foil and place in the oven.
- Cook for approx. 15minutes, until tender but not falling apart.
- Remove from the oven and let the rhubarb cool.
- Scatter the rhubarb, juice and strawberries on top of the Malabi and serve.
