Vegan Creme Brulee Recipe No Blow Torch Needed

Rich, creamy, and indulgent, creme brulee is a popular dessert loved by many. However, traditional recipes call for eggs, cream, and sugar, making it unsuitable for those following a vegan diet. But fear not! I have created a delicious Vegan Creme Brulee recipe that is easy to make and does not require a blow torch. This plant-based version retains the classic flavors and decadent texture of the original, making it a perfect dairy-free alternative that even non-vegans will enjoy.

Ingredients:
– 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup cornstarch
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp turmeric (for color)
– 4 tbsp maple syrup
– Vegan cane sugar for brulee topping

Instructions:
1. In a saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, salt, and turmeric over medium heat. Stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

2. Cook the mixture until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon.

3. Remove from heat and divide the mixture evenly into ramekins. Allow them to cool slightly before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to set.

4. Once the creme brulee has set, remove them from the refrigerator and evenly drizzle 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over each ramekin.

5. Sprinkle a generous layer of vegan cane sugar on top of the maple syrup. Make sure it covers the entire surface to create a crispy brulee topping.

6. To caramelize the sugar without a blow torch, preheat your oven’s broiler. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and carefully transfer them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

7. Once the sugar has caramelized and formed a golden crust, remove the ramekins from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the sugar to harden.
