🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 large eggs
✓ 2 tbsp cornstarch
✓ 3/4 cup 0% Greek yogurt
✓ 2 tbsp low-fat milk
✓ 3/4 cup light coconut milk (5% fat)
✓ 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
✓ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✓ 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 1/3 cup sweet sticky rice (cooked, cooled)
✓ 1 medium ripe mango (diced)
✓ 2 tbsp raw cane sugar (for torching)
✓ 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare Sticky Rice Base: If using fresh sticky rice, cook according to package directions and cool to room temperature. Divide 1/3 cup cooled sticky rice between two 6 oz ramekins, pressing gently to form an even layer on the bottom. This creates the authentic Thai foundation.

2. Whisk Egg-Cornstarch Mixture: In a small bowl, beat 2 whole eggs until pale (about 2 minutes). In another bowl, whisk 2 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp low-fat milk until smooth. Slowly add cornstarch slurry to eggs while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Set aside.

3. Heat Coconut-Yogurt Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 3/4 cup light coconut milk and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, whisking until smooth. Heat to 160°F (just below boiling), stirring often. Do not boil or yogurt will separate.

4. Temper the Eggs: Remove coconut mixture from heat. Slowly ladle 3 tbsp hot coconut mixture into egg-cornstarch bowl while whisking constantly. Repeat 2 more times (tempering prevents scrambled eggs). Pour tempered egg mixture back into saucepan, whisking smoothly.

5. Cook Custard: Return saucepan to medium-low heat. Stir constantly for 4–5 minutes until custard coats the back of a spoon and reaches 175°F. Custard will thicken visibly. Add 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp cardamom, and pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth.

6. Pour Custard Over Rice: Remove from heat and cool custard for 3 minutes. Slowly pour custard over sticky rice layer in each ramekin, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Tap ramekins gently on counter to release air bubbles.

7. Chill (or Serve Warm): Refrigerate ramekins for at least 2 hours until custard sets (or serve warm after 20 minutes if preferred). Custard should jiggle slightly when shaken but hold its shape.

8. Caramelize Sugar Top: Just before serving, sprinkle 1 tbsp raw cane sugar evenly over each ramekin's surface. Using a kitchen torch, hold flame 2 inches from sugar and move in circular motions until golden amber (about 45 seconds). Let cool 1 minute until hard shell forms.

9. Prepare Fresh Mango Topping: Dice 1 medium ripe mango and toss with 1 tbsp fresh lime juice. Top each brûlée with mango just before serving to maintain textural contrast and add tropical brightness.
