Looking for a dessert that's both refreshing and indulgent? Try this Coconut Lime Mango Brulee with Mango Slices recipe! This tropical delight is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a summer barbecue or a cozy winter dinner party.

Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup mango puree
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and sliced

Cooking Tips:

- Use fresh, ripe mangoes for the best flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the custard, as it can become grainy.
- Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar on top of the brulee.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, heavy cream, sugar, lime juice, and mango puree. Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a simmer.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract.
4. Slowly pour the hot coconut milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
5. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl.
6. Divide the custard evenly among four ramekins.
7. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
9. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature.
10. Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
11. Just before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar over the top of each brulee. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a golden-brown crust.
12. Garnish each brulee with sliced mango and serve immediately.
