COCONUT CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread 1/2 cup flaked coconut on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until light golden, stirring once, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Whisk 3/4 cup sugar and egg yolks in medium bowl to blend. Mix cream, coconut milk, toasted coconut, and remaining 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut in heavy large saucepan. Bring just to simmer over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally. Gradually whisk hot cream mixture into yolk mixture. Stir in rum and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Strain custard through fine strainer into medium pitcher, pressing on solids. Divide among eight 2/3- to 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups.
• Place ramekins in large roasting pan. Fill pan with enough hot water to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake custards until edges are set but centers move slightly when dishes are gently shaken, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove custards from water. Chill custards uncovered until cold, then cover and chill overnight.
• Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over each custard. Using kitchen torch, heat sugar until melted and deep amber. (Alternatively, preheat broiler. Place ramekins on rimmed baking sheet and broil until sugar melts and turns deep amber, 1 to 2 minutes.) Chill until sugar hardens, about 15 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 hour ahead. Keep chilled.

CORN AND COCONUT CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Cut the kernels from the ears of corn. Cut each corncob into 3 pieces.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepot over medium heat. Stir in the corn kernels and 1 teaspoon salt. Saute until just tender, about 5 minutes, being careful not to let the corn or butter brown. Add the corncobs, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook at a simmer for 15 minutes.
• While the mixture simmers, combine the sugars in a blender or food processor, blend well, and set aside.
• Remove and discard the corncobs. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend on high speed until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing with a silicone spatula to obtain all the pulp; discard any remaining solids. Whisk in 1/2 cup of the sugar mixture, the milk, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla until thoroughly mixed. Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt, if needed.
• Divide the mixture among six 8-ounce brulee dishes or flameproof ramekins, filling them to just below the rim. Place the dishes in a roasting pan or large baking dish. Pour water into the roasting pan to come about halfway up the sides of the dishes. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and carefully transfer it to the center rack of the oven. Bake until just set, about 35 minutes.
• Remove the dishes from the pan. Refrigerate until well chilled.
• Spread a thin layer of the remaining sugar mixture on top of the baked custards (you may not need it all). Caramelize with a torch. Or place the custards on a baking sheet and caramelize under a preheated broiler. Serve immediately.

NO-BAKE COCONUT CRÈME BRÛLÉE

Steps:

• In a pan, heat the cream, coconut cream, lime leaves, vanilla pod and seeds to just below boiling point. Leave to infuse for 1 hr, or chill overnight if you have time. Bring back to temperature before continuing.
• Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and cornflour in a bowl. Slowly add a ladle of the hot cream to the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the cream and cook over a low heat for 8-10 mins until thick, stirring continuously - the mixture should be much thicker than a classic custard at this stage, but don't take it too far or the eggs in the custard will curdle.
• Pour through a sieve into the crème brûlée dish. Chill overnight, or for at least 1 hr until the custard has set.
• To serve, sprinkle caster sugar over the top of the custard and caramelise with a blowtorch. (Do not caramelise under a grill as it takes too long and the custard will melt.)
