Coconut custard (also referred to as [[pumpkin]]-[[coconut]] custard) is a dessert dish consisting of a coconut custard steam-baked in a pumpkin or kabocha.

'''Sangkhaya''' (Thai: สังขยา, pronounced [sǎŋkʰàjǎː]) is a similar concoction but it has a less sticky and more [[custard]]-like texture. It is sometimes called "coconut [[custard]]" in English and is used to make sangkhaya fak thong (สังขยาฟักทอง, [sǎŋkʰàjǎː fáktʰɔ̄ːŋ]; sangkhaya maryu in Lao), sangkhaya pumpkin or custard pumpkin, khao niao sangkhaya (ข้าวเหนียวสังขยา, [kʰâːw nǐaw sǎŋkʰàjǎː]), glutinous rice with sangkhaya, and sangkhaya maphrao (สังขยามะพร้าว, [sǎŋkʰàjǎː māpʰráːw]), sangkhaya served in a coconut. Sangkhaya is one of many desserts based on Portuguese cuisine introduced by Maria Guyomar de Pinha to the Ayutthaya Kingdom. She called the dessert [[custard]] but the word custard is hard to say for [[Thai]] people so royal kitchen officers renamed it sangkhaya.
