Instructions
Step 1Preheat the oven to 190°C. Place coconut milk, milk, sugar, vanilla and eggs in a large jug and whisk until combined.

Step 3Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until just set. Remove ramekins from water bath and set aside for 5 minutes to cool. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
Step 4Make lime syrup: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the syrup thickens.
Step 5To serve, pour warm syrup over the custards, and top each with a little of the passionfruit pulp and extra lime zest.
