Mango and cardamom creme brûlées

Method

1. Heat the oven to 100°C fan/gas ½. Combine the sugar, cream and mango purée in a saucepan over a medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until the mixture just comes to the boil. Take off the heat, add the cardamom and stir to combine.
2. In a large heatproof jug or bowl, whisk the egg and egg yolks. Slowly add the just-boiled cream and mango mixture to the eggs, little by little, whisking until the egg and cream mixture is fully incorporated.
3. Put the ramekins on a baking tray, then divide the mixture among them. Put in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the mixture is set with a slight wobble in the centre. Remove, cool and chill.
