Thai Pumpkin Custard (Sangkhaya fak thong)

(Thai Pumpkin Custard, สังขยาฟักทอง)

Sangkhaya fak thong is a traditional dessert originating from Thailand. It consists of a pumpkin that's filled with creamy custard. The ingredients include a whole pumpkin, duck or hen eggs, sugar, coconut milk or cream, pandan leaves, cornstarch or rice flour, and salt.


The pumpkin is cut so that the lid, the seeds, and the flesh are removed from the inside. The coconut milk, sugar, and pandan leaves are gently heated, then slightly cooled before they're mixed with whisked eggs and a bit of cornstarch. The resulting custard is placed inside the pumpkin, which is then steamed, cooled, cut into slices, and served.


This visually attractive dessert can be found at street food stalls and in restaurants all over Thailand.
