Ingredients
  

  • 13.5 oz can full-fat pure coconut milk
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk (I like La Lechera)
  • 3 TBSP cornstarch
  • 1 vanilla bean pod optional

Ingredients for the fruit:

  • 1 1/2 cups California prunes packed
  • 1 cup dark rum or water
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 TBSP granulated sugar or honey
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • 1 TBSP vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, half of the coconut milk, and the vanilla bean pod, if using. In the other half of the coconut milk still in the can, whisk in the cornstarch to dilute, then pour it into the saucepan with the other ingredients.
  • Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk for about 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens completely. Be attentive as it thickens and burns quickly, so keep the heat adequately tamed.
  • With a ladle, pour the custard into small cups or a big bowl to serve family-style (do it however you'd like). Let it set at room temperature while you make the sauce.
  • In another heavy small saucepan, combine the dried fruit, rum (or water), water, sugar or honey, and cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally and watching it carefully as the alcohol burns.
  • Cook for about 10 minutes, until the fruit has softened and the liquid starts to look syrupy.
  • Remove from heat and immediately add the vanilla extract.
  • Spoon the warm fruit sauce over the little pots de crème and serve right away.
