Combine coconut milk and sugar in a saucepan over low heat.

Stir until sugar dissolves completely, about 3-5 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.

In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry.

Add the cornstarch slurry to the coconut mixture, stirring well.

Add salt and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

Continue to cook on low heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes, ensuring it does not boil.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Transfer to jars and refrigerate until set, about 2-4 hours.
