Coconut Creme Brulee Papaya - Cheffing Around

Coconut Creme Brulee Papaya

A summer dessert with a twist. This dessert is best shared between friends and family and quite a hit with young children also.
The glazing of sugar , like a creme brulee, makes a sugary toffee topping adding an element of crunch to the dessert.
Whilst not a true creme brulee, the creme patisserie can be flavored as you like eg: Kaffir lime, lime zest, lemon zest or orange zest are also great flavors that match with the Papaya.
You can add extra fruit down the bottom of papaya for an extra surprise!.
PS. You will need a butane gas gun for glazing and these can be bought at any good hospitality supply store quite cheaply.
