Let’s make it.

Warm coconut milk with sugar until dissolved, then cool until barely warm.
Whisk eggs with pumpkin and salt; gradually stir in coconut mixture.
Divide between four heatproof ramekins and cover each loosely with foil.
Steam gently for 25–30 minutes until fully set and centers reach 71°C; cool before serving.
