Crème brûlée (vegan). This was another of the challenges I set myself, to create a vegan crème brûlée. It has no eggs, no dairy, is gluten-free and super easy to make. A perfect dessert for a special occasion and it is low in fat as well.
Yet the recipe, as created by Pure Ella for So Delicious Dairy Free, results in a creamy custard-like dessert with a crusty, sugary topping.
Ella uses a mix of coconut milk beverage, full fat coconut milk, and cashew butter for the creamy texture, but adds starch and agar flakes to help the custard set.
This Vegan Crème Brûlée recipe is everything you want in a creamy, decadent dessert.
You can have Crème brûlée (vegan) using 5 ingredients and 3 steps. Here is how you cook it.

And the milk/cornstarch mixture to the coconut milk and continue to whisk over a low heat until the mixture has thickened.
