This vegan creme brulee has a rich and creamy custard base, and it's topped with sweet, hardened caramelized sugar. And the textural difference between the layers compliments each other so well, that this might be one of the best vegan dessert recipes you can make! Plus, it's incredibly easy to make too. Just 6 ingredients are all you need to make this vegan creme brulee!

Ingredients

Scale

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

1/2 cup plant-based milk - of your choice

3 tbsp (20g) tapioca starch

1/4 (50g) cup granulated sugar

3/4 teaspoon agar-agar- powder

Pinch of sea salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon of sugar per ramekin for the caramelized top

Instructions

  1. First, combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth (you can whisk all the ingredients together by hand, just make sure the starch has fully dissolved).
  2. Now, transfer the ingredients to a medium-sized saucepan and put over medium-low heat. 
  3. Whisking frequently, cook the mixture until it has thickened, and small bubbles appear at the sides of the pot (about 10 minutes). Only cook until bubbles form, DO NOT wait until the entire mixture is bubbling as this will overcook it. 
  4. Pour the mixture into each ramekin and let them cool for about an hour at room temperature.
  5. Then, wrap each ramekin tightly in plastic wrap, and put them in the refrigerator for a few hours to cool thoroughly until the base is firm. 
  6. When you're ready to serve, sprinkle one teaspoon of sugar evenly over the top of each one (if storing and saving for later, do not put the sugar on top until you are ready to caramelize). 
  7. Use a blow torch, to caramelize the top.
  8. If you don't have a blow torch: place the ramekins on a baking sheet, and put it on the oven rack directly under the broiler. Broil on high for about 1 minute until the top turns golden brown (check frequently).

Notes

The scale up function does not change the gram measurements.
