Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized (peeled, cored, and cut into chunks) Pineapple
• 2 medium-sized (peeled and diced) Mango
• 2 medium (sliced) Banana
• 4 whole (pulp removed) Passion fruit
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons (for caramelizing) Brown sugar
• 5 optional (for garnish) Mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Prepare the tropical fruits: Peel and cut the pineapple and mango into bite-sized chunks, slice the bananas, and scoop out the passion fruit pulp.

Step 3

Distribute the prepared fruits evenly in an oven-safe baking dish or individual ramekins.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the cream mixture evenly over the fruit in the baking dish(es), ensuring it lightly coats the top layer.

Step 6

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes or until the cream mixture is just set and heated through.

Step 7

Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle an even layer of brown sugar over the top of the gratin.

Step 8

Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the brown sugar until it forms a golden, crispy layer. If you don’t have a torch, you can place the dish under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Step 9

Allow the gratin to cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve warm for a tropical treat with a creamy topping and caramelized finish.
