Mango and Coconut Crème Caramel
January 15th, 2010 | Non-Asian Recipes | 18 Comments
It’s Friday and let’s serve up something sweet for the weekend. I am not particularly strong in the desserts department, so I have Jacqueline Pham of PhamFatale sharing her mango and coconut creme caramel recipe with us. Creme caramel with a tropical and Asian twist, what’s not to like? PhamFatale is food blog with many interesting and delicious recipes, thanks to the exotic background of Jackie—a French-Vietnamese born and raised in Paris, and currently resides in San Francisco, so do expect to find a variety of Asian, French, and Asian-inspired recipes on her blog. Please give your warm welcome.
I’ve been posting recipes every day on my site, PhamFatale.com for a year now. The dishes are a chronicle of what we eat in my home, and a reflection of the diversity of the members of my family. I was born and raised in Paris, France, but my family is originally from Vietnam. My husband is of Indian descent, but grew up in the US. He also happens to be a vegetarian.
One thing my husband and I can agree upon, culinarily speaking, is our love of desserts. Since I got married, I have introduced him to a myriad of decadent French desserts, such as crème brulée and madeleines. Over the holidays I had a craving for crème caramel, and prepared quite a few batches. I experimented with several different flavor combinations, but my absolute favorite was mango and coconut. The dessert not only embodies both my French upbringing and Vietnamese roots, but tastes great too…(get mango and coconut creme caramel recipe after the jump)
