To make this Coconut Lime Brulee with Fresh Lime Zest, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of coconut milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of lime zest
- 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and coconut milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, sugar, and lime zest until it becomes light and fluffy.
Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Once fully combined, pour the mixture into a ramekin or oven-safe dish.
Place the ramekin in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekin. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the brulee is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
Remove the ramekin from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the brulee and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy crust.
The Coconut Lime Brulee with Fresh Lime Zest is a beautiful dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The creamy texture of the brulee is perfectly balanced with the tangy lime zest and the sweet coconut milk. The crispy caramelized sugar on top adds a delightful crunch to every bite.
This dish can be classified as a dessert and its three main ingredients are coconut milk, lime zest, and heavy cream.
