Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
6 None eggs, at room temperature
None None Raspberries, to serve
None None Fresh mint leaves, to decorate

Preparation

Place 3/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan on low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium. Boil, without stirring, for 8-10 mins or until rich golden brown (using a wet pastry brush, brush down sides of pan occasionally). Pour caramel into an 8-inch round cake pan.
Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F. Place cream, coconut milk and vanilla in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat.

Place cake pan in a roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into roasting pan to come halfway up side of cake pan.
Bake for 35-40 mins or until just set at center. Remove cake pan from water bath. Cool slightly. Cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight. Run a thin knife around rim of pan. Invert onto a serving plate. Decorate with raspberries and mint.
