Servings

Ingredients
  

  • 400 ml coconut milk none
  • 1/4 cup sugar none
  • 1 vanilla bean split and scraped
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch none
  • 1/4 cup water none
  • 1 pineapple peeled, cored and diced
  • 1/2 cup sugar for caramelizing
steps

Let's make it 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla bean. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Slowly whisk this into the coconut milk mixture.
  • Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a custard-like consistency.
  • Pour the custard into ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set.
  • While the custard is baking, make the candied pineapple. Combine the diced pineapple and sugar in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the pineapple is caramelized.
  • Remove the custard from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it's golden and bubbly.
  • Top each brûlée with a spoonful of candied pineapple and serve immediately.
