Serves: 6

Difficulty:

Ingredients

500ml full cream
130g sugar
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon coconut milk powder
½ teaspoon Lemon Myrtle
2 ripe bananas
sugar

Method

1. Add the coconut powder to the cream and slightly warm the full cream in a pot on the stove
2. place the egg yolks with the sugar in a bowl and whisk briskly, creaming the mixture
3. add the cream to the mixture and add the Lemon Myrtle
4. place in moulds and place into a deep tray and half fill with warm water half way up the sides of the moulds; cover entire tray with foil; make sure it’s covered extremely well, as any gap will cause the brulée to scramble
5. place in a 160°C oven for 45 minutes
6. remove the moulds immediately from the water bath and allow to cool. refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours
7. slice the bananas on a diagonal and fan the slices out over the tops of the brulée

Styling

To serve, sprinkle the sugar on the top and heat with a gas torch to form a toffee crunch.
