Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C and prepare a hot bain-marie; place ramekins in a baking dish.
2. Split the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds; heat the coconut milk with the vanilla without bringing to a boil then leave to cool for 5 minutes.
3. Whisk the egg yolks with the sweetener until the mixture is smooth; Slowly pour in the lukewarm coconut milk while whisking to temper the yolks.
4. Divide the cream among the ramekins; fill the dish with hot water to halfway up the ramekins and cook in a bain-marie for 35–40 minutes until firm (the center should jiggle slightly).
5. Remove from oven, let cool to room temperature then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
6. Just before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of crystallized sweetener suitable for flaring and caramelize with a blowtorch; failing this, spend 1–2 minutes under a very hot grill, keeping an eye on it.
