Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Combine 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Continue cooking without stirring, swirling occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until golden amber.
Promptly pour the hot syrup into 8 (7- to 8-ounce) ramekins, coating the bottoms, then let cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk 1 1/4 cups sweetened mango pulp, 6 room-temperature large eggs, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth.
Divide the mango mixture evenly into the ramekins. Place ramekins in a roasting pan, then carefully pour hot tap water around them to a depth of 1 1/2 inches.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the centers jiggle slightly and the mixture is set.
Remove ramekins from the pan and cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 2 hours until chilled. Cover for longer storage.
To unmold, run a small spatula or knife around the ramekin edges, then invert each onto a small plate.
