Scene 9 · doneness · 6s
How you know it is done

Voiceover. Matcha Coconut Custard is done when the thickest piece is tender and the liquid is quiet, not at a hard boil.
On screen. Doneness
Scene 10 · mistakes · 7s
If it goes wrong
Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.
Voiceover. Matcha Coconut Custard looks done on top and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue in the method, not the color alone. Give it a few more minutes and check the center. Matcha Coconut Custard spread, sank, or turned out dry. Measure by weight next time, heat the oven fully, and stop when the doneness cue appears rather than when the timer ends.
On screen. Common fixes

Cooling and storage
Shot. The dish cools on a rack, then a container is closed. No refrigerator brand in frame.

Machine-readable script for a later video tool. Scene durations are edit lengths, not cooking times. Long simmers and bakes are jump cuts. Order: hook, title, mise, equipment, one scene per numbered step (shot, on-screen text, voiceover, duration), doneness, fixes, storage, nutrition, plate, and the closing CTA. Keep the shot list and on-screen facts tied to this recipe.
