Coconut Lime Creme Brulee

Coconut Lime Creme Brulee is a delicious dessert that combines the tropical flavors of coconut and lime with the classic French dessert, creme brulee. This dish is perfect for those who love creamy, rich desserts with a hint of tangy citrus.

To make Coconut Lime Creme Brulee, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lime zest
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar

To start, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and coconut milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, granulated sugar, lime zest, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Pour the mixture into a ramekin or small oven-safe dish. Place the dish in a baking pan and fill the pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the dish from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden-brown crust.
Coconut Lime Creme Brulee is a creamy, tangy, and sweet dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The coconut milk adds a subtle tropical flavor, while the lime zest provides a refreshing citrus note. The caramelized sugar crust adds a satisfying crunch to each bite.
