Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup, diced mango
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp crushed nuts

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk the 3 egg yolks with 2 tbsp sugar until pale and thick, about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    In a saucepan, heat the 1 cup heavy cream and 1 tsp vanilla over medium until steaming, about 3 minutes. Do not boil.

  3. 3

    Slowly pour the hot cream into the yolks, whisking constantly. Return to the pan and cook over low, stirring, until the custard coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Divide the 1 cup diced mango between 2 ramekins. Pour the custard over the mango and chill until set, at least 2 hours.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the remaining 1 tbsp sugar over each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize until golden and crisp. Top with the 2 tbsp crushed nuts.
