Pumpkin-coconut custard (Thai: สังขยาฟักทอง, sangkhaya fak thong, [sǎŋkʰajǎː fák tʰɔːŋ]; Khmer: សង់ខ្យាល្ពៅ, sankhya lapov; Lao: ສັງຂະຫຍາໝາກອຶ, sangkhaya maku) is a Southeast Asian dessert, consisting of a coconut custard steam-baked in a whole pumpkin or kabocha. It was created by Maria Guyomar de Pinha in Ayutthaya Kingdom in 17th century as an adaptation of a Portuguese egg-based dessert.[1]

In Thailand, it is a popular dessert that is often sold in fresh food markets and as street food.[2] In Cambodia, the pumpkin-coconut custard is also sold in markets and confectionery stores often by the slice. It is the centerpiece of Cambodian New Year tables.[3] In Laos, the dessert is a very common market food as well.[4]

Some of the most famous Portuguese-Siamese desserts were attributed to Mary Gimard, or Thao Thong Giip Ma, the Portuguese-Japanese wife of Constance Phaulkon, the Greek adventurer who became Prime Minister under King Narai of Ayuttaya (1656–1688). She was credited with adapting Portuguese egg-based desserts into special royal desserts including a custard served in squash and a complex sweet made to look like mango seeds.
