Toasted Coconut Crème Brulee
Six 4-ounce broil proof ceramic dishes
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups sweetened flake coconut
1
⁄
2
vanilla bean
5 egg yolks
1
⁄
3
cup sugar
1
⁄
8
tsp. salt
1
⁄
2
cup superfine sugar* or brown sugar
Preheat oven to 325˚F on Standard Bake. Place coconut flakes on a cookie sheet. Toast for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove coconut from the oven carefully because the oils can burn your eyes.
In a heavy saucepan, heat the heavy cream. Slice vanilla bean down the center and add it to the cream, scooping the beans out
with a thin knife. Add the toasted coconut. Remove from heat and set aside, letting the toasted coconut steep in the cream for at
least 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine egg yolks,
1
⁄
3
cup sugar, and salt. Beat with a whisk until just combined. Strain coconut and vanilla
bean out of cream into a bowl, then slowly whisk together cream into egg mixture. Be sure not to add it too quickly at the beginning,
because it will cause the yolks to curdle.
Place six 4-ounce broiler-proof custard cups in a 12" x 18" rectangular baking sheet with a rim. Pour egg custard mixture evenly into
cups and carefully transfer to preheated oven. Using a measuring pitcher, pour enough hot water into the baking pan around the
custard cups to reach half way up the sides of the dishes. This will act as a buffer to cook the custard slowly without browning. You
want the crème brulee to be set but not cooked. Bake until only about a dime-sized piece in the center of the custard still shakes,
about 35-45 minutes. Remove from the water bath and cool on an oven rack. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour up to overnight.
Before serving, let custard stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. This will help prevent the cups from cracking during the
“brulee.” Sprinkle an even layer of superfine sugar or brown sugar over the surface of the custard, using an index finger to fill it in.
Set oven to Standard Broil on “HI” and set the oven rack on position 4 (counting up from the bottom). Place custard cups with sugar
on them close together on a small cookie sheet. Place pan in the center of the rack under the broiler all the way to the back, and
broil for 4-5 minutes, or until the top browns and creates a hard shell over the custard. Serve immediately.
Serves 6.
* To make your own superfine sugar, grind granulated sugar in a food processor.
