Method
- Toast half the duman in a dry pan just until fragrant; leave the rest untoasted.
- Whisk coconut milk, evaporated milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt while cold until lump-free.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously along the bottom and corners.
- When the mixture thickens, lower the heat and continue until glossy and bubbling slowly.
- Fold in the untoasted duman and cook 2 minutes more.
- Stir in optional vanilla, pour into a lightly oiled dish, and smooth the top immediately.
- Cool completely, then top with toasted duman and latik.
- Chill for clean slices or serve softly set at room temperature.
