Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 40 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Servings: 8

Necessary ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 1 can (approx. 400 g) condensed milk
- 1 can (approx. 400 ml) coconut milk
- 200 ml liquid cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- A pinch of salt
- 200 g sugar
- 70 ml water
- 1 cup of fresh raspberries (approximately 150 g)

Step by step to a perfect result:

1. Preparing the caramel: In a small saucepan, add the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar completely dissolves. Then, let the mixture boil without stirring, until you achieve a golden caramel. Be careful not to burn it! Once it reaches the desired color, quickly divide the caramel into the cream molds (preferably silicone molds or ramekins). Tilt the molds to evenly cover the bottom and sides with caramel. Let them cool and harden.

2. Preparing the cream: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the condensed milk, coconut milk, liquid cream, vanilla essence, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the mixture is homogeneous. It is important to use fresh eggs, as they contribute to the cream's fine texture. Passing the mixture through a fine sieve will eliminate any traces of eggs and make the cream even smoother.

3. Filling the molds: Divide the cream mixture into the prepared molds, being careful not to fill them to the brim, to allow the cream to puff up slightly during baking.

4. Baking: Preheat the oven to 160°C. Place the molds in a deep tray and fill the tray with warm water, being careful not to let water enter the molds. Bake the cream in the oven for 40 minutes or until set, but slightly jiggly in the center.

5. Preparing the raspberry sauce: While the cream is baking, prepare the raspberry sauce. Wash the raspberries and place them in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let them boil until they release their juice, then blend them with an immersion blender. Passing the sauce through a sieve will remove the seeds, giving you a smooth texture. Put the sauce back on the heat, add a tablespoon of honey, and let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

6. Serving: Once the cream has cooled, carefully invert it onto individual plates. Place the raspberry sauce on top or on the side for a contrast of colors and flavors. You can choose to serve the cream directly from the molds for a rustic and authentic look.

Useful tips and variations:
- You can replace raspberries with other berries, such as blackberries, blueberries, or strawberries, to vary the flavor.
- If you like a stronger coconut flavor, add a few drops of coconut essence to the cream mixture.
- For an extra flavor boost, you can add a splash of rum or coconut liqueur to your cream.
- If you want to reduce calories, you can use light coconut milk or low-fat cream.

Nutritional benefits:
Coconut milk cream is an excellent choice for those looking for a delicious and satisfying dessert. Coconut milk is rich in essential fatty acids, while raspberries are full of antioxidants and vitamins. This recipe is a healthier option than many other desserts, with moderate sugar and saturated fat content.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use almond milk instead of coconut milk?: Yes, but the taste and texture will be different. Almond milk will provide a lighter flavor.
- Can I make the cream without eggs?: There are plant-based alternatives for eggs, but the final texture and taste will vary.
- How long can I keep the cream in the fridge?: The cream can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days, covered with plastic wrap.

This coconut milk cream recipe is not only simple but also a true feast for the senses. Each spoonful will take you on a tropical journey, and the combination of caramel and raspberries will leave your taste buds delighted. Enjoy!
