Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups shredded coconut 
• 1 cup coconut cream 
• 1 cup milk 
• 90g caster sugar 
• 4 egg yolks 
• 3 gold-strength gelatine leaves 
• Ice for an ice bath 
• 300ml thickened cream, lightly whipped 
• 5 kaffir lime leaves 
• 1 cup caster sugar 
• 3 cups tropical fruit, cut with a small melon baller 

Instructions

1. Stir the coconut in a dry frypan over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Place in a saucepan over medium heat with coconut cream and milk. Bring to just below boiling point, then set aside for 30 minutes to infuse.
2. Whisk sugar and egg yolks in a bowl. Strain the infused milk through a fine sieve into the bowl, pressing down well. Discard the shredded coconut. Whisk to combine, then return the mixture to a clean pan over low heat, stirring for 2-3 minutes until you have a custard thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
3. Meanwhile, soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Squeeze to remove excess water, then add the leaves to custard mixture, stirring to dissolve. Remove from heat and transfer custard to a bowl, then sit in another bowl of iced water. Stir occasionally until cool.
4. Fold the lightly whipped cream into the cooled custard. Pour into six 1 cup (250ml) serving glasses and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
5. Meanwhile, for the salad, place 4 kaffir lime leaves in a pan, sprinkle with the sugar, cover and leave to infuse for at least 4 hours or overnight. Add 1 cup (250ml) water, then stir over low heat for 1-2 minutes to dissolve sugar. Increase heat to medium and simmer, without stirring, for 5 minutes until syrupy. Cool, then chill until needed (up to 3 days).
6. Just before serving, finely shred the remaining kaffir leaf and add to the syrup with the tropical fruit, then spoon over the bavarois to serve.
