Vegan Crème Brûlée

This Vegan Crème Brûlée is a delightful twist on the classic French dessert, featuring a creamy coconut base and a crispy, caramelized sugar topping. It's a perfect indulgence to start your day or to impress guests at brunch.

Ingredients

• canned coconut milk - 200 ml
• unsweetened almond milk - 100 ml
• cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• maple syrup - 3 tablespoons
• vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon (for color)
• sugar - 2 tablespoons (for topping)
• fresh berries - 100 grams (for garnish, optional)

Steps

1. In a saucepan, combine the canned coconut milk, almond milk, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and turmeric powder.
2. Whisk the mixture over medium heat until it thickens, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3. Once thickened, remove from heat and pour the mixture into two ramekins.
4. Let the ramekins cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
5. Preheat your oven broiler.
6. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the top of each set crème brûlée.
7. Place the ramekins under the broiler for about 2-4 minutes, watching closely until the sugar caramelizes and forms a crust.
