Seasonal fresh fruit such as sliced navel oranges from Gisbourne, orange zest and fresh mint make the perfect topping or side to these coconut créme brûlèe.

Chef's Note:
If you don’t have a blow torch, you can make the sugary golden caramelised topping separately. Heat a small saucepan to medium heat. Add a quarter cup of caster sugar and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the sugar has melted and turned golden brown. Remove from the heat, then quickly and carefully pour over the top of each créme brûlèe, straight out of the fridge. Swirl the ramekins to spread the golden sugar over the top in an even layer. Leave to sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the sugar to harden.
