Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
2.	In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until pale and creamy. Add the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean and whisk to combine.
3.	In a heavy saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer over medium-low heat. Gradually pour the cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, until well combined.
4.	Stir in the diced mango and pour the mixture into six 6-oz ramekins.
5.	Place the ramekins in a baking dish, and pour enough hot water into the dish to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
6.	Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7.	Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
8.	When ready to serve, sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of turbinado sugar over the top of each chilled ramekin. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and bubbly. Serve immediately.
