I found this recipe on Chowhound after searching on the net for nondairy creme brulee. This one intrigued me, and it was perfect. It is not vegan, but it does come together easily. Next time I make it, though, I invest in a hand torch. This was the best I could brown it under the broiler without burning.
Coconut creme brulee
1 can coconut milk
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
Over a double boiler, stir 4 egg yolks and most of the sugar until the mixture gets light colored, gooey, and not crystalline anymore. Add in the coconut milk, and stir until mixed.
Pour into 4 ramekins that are sittig in a 1/2″ bath of hot water. Cook in 325 degree F. oven for about 50 – 60 minutes, or until set. Cool and then place in fridge overnight. When ready to serve, sprinkle with remaining sugar and torch. (if you broil, make sure you refrigerate again for about an hour, or the creme will be runny). Serves 4.

The other day I told my mom I needed a blowtorch specifically for the purpose of making creme brulee. She laughed. This is making me realize just how necessary it is.
This sounds delicious. I may try it this weekend.
I really miss creme brulee. I saw the same recipe and I think I’ll give it a try. Made a great dairy free blender hollandaise sauce this week so I think I’ll give this a try. First, a hand torch.
Have you tried this with any variations?
Haven’t tried any variations, but I’d be open to suggestion….
