Coconut Custard with Tropical Fruit Compote

Coconut Custard with Tropical Fruit Compote is a delectable dessert that will transport you to a tropical paradise. This dish is perfect for those who love the combination of creamy custard and sweet tropical fruits.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mixed tropical fruits (such as mango, pineapple, and papaya)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk and heavy cream over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the hot coconut milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
Pour the custard mixture into a ramekin or small baking dish. Place the dish in a larger baking dish and fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
While the custard is baking, prepare the tropical fruit compote. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed tropical fruits, honey, and lime juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the fruits are soft and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Once the custard is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Top the custard with the tropical fruit compote and serve immediately.
This Coconut Custard with Tropical Fruit Compote is a perfect combination of creamy and fruity flavors. The custard is rich and velvety, while the tropical fruit compote adds a burst of sweetness and tanginess. This dish is perfect for a summer dessert or a special occasion.
