How to Make Tropical Fruit Gratin
- Preheat your oven broiler.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced tropical fruits and lime zest.
- Divide the fruit mixture evenly among six (6) 125 ml ramekins.
- Set aside 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the remaining granulated sugar and cornstarch until smooth.
- Whisk in the egg yolk and heavy cream until well combined.
- Cook, stirring constantly, for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a custard consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Allow the custard to cool completely.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg white with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the reserved 1 tablespoon of sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cooled custard mixture.
- Carefully spoon the custard mixture over the fruit in each ramekin.
- Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar and shredded coconut.
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and lightly caramelized. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
