Preparation Method :

Cut the nectarines in half. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the stones (pits) and a little of the surrounding flesh.
Lightly beat the egg, and then add the sugar and the coconut milk. Beat until the sugar dissolves.
Transfer the nectarines to a steamer and carefully fill the cavities three-quarters full with the custard mixture.
Steam the mixture over a pan of simmering water for 5 - 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
Transfer to plates and serve cold.
