Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup (125g) castor sugar

Topping:
- 1 cup (250g) brown sugar
- ¾ cup (180ml) coconut milk, heated

- Stir in butter, milk and lime juice and peel.
- Combine flour, coconut and salt and fold into egg mixture. Spoon into dish.

- Combine coconut milk and water and pour over the back of a spoon the back of a spoon so that it ‘floats’ gently on top of the batter and settles there. (You don’t want the force of pouring to make a hole in the batter).
