Desserts

Coconut crème caramel 4 jumbo eggs

01

4 egg yolks 50g caster sugar 600ml coconut milk toasted slivers of coconut, to decorate

For the caramel

02

03

150g caster sugar

04

05

06

P reheat the oven to 160°C. To make the caramel, heat the sugar and 5 tbsp water in a heavy pan, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and, without stirring, let the mixture bubble until it is dark golden and almost like treacle. P our the caramel into an ovenproof dish, tilting the dish to swirl it around so that it covers the bottom and sides – you will need to do this quickly. Put the dish aside and leave the caramel to set. I n a bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks with the caster sugar. Heat the coconut milk in a small pan, but don’t allow it to boil. Then gradually pour it on to the egg mixture, while beating constantly. Pour the mixture through a sieve over the caramel in the dish or individual ramekins. S et the dish or ramekins in a bain-marie. You can use a roasting pan or wide oven dish half-filled with water. Place it in the oven for about 50 minutes, or until the custard has just set, but still feels soft when touched with the fingertips. Leave the dish to cool, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight. T o serve, loosen the custard around the sides using a thin, sharp knife. Place a flat serving plate over the top and invert the custard, holding on to the dish and plate at the same time. Shake it a little before removing the inverted dish, then carefully lift it off as the caramel drizzles down the sides and forms a puddle around the pudding. D ecorate the custard with fresh grated coconut and mint leaves, and serve.

VARIATION If you are not keen on coconut, you can use full-cream milk instead of coconut milk and infuse it with a vanilla bean, orange peel or aniseed.
