Recipe makes approximately 4
Equipment Needed
- Blender
- 2-ounce ramekins or crème brûlée dishes
- blowtorch or broiler
Ingredients Needed
- 2 cans coconut milk
- 4 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 2 cups raw cashews
- ¾ cup vegan granulated sugar (see Notes)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- pinch of turmeric (see Notes)
- 2 teaspoons vegan granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Combine coconut milk, arrowroot, and cashews in a small saucepan. Bring to boil, then turn off heat and remove.
- Add in sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of turmeric.
- Transfer mixture to blender. Blend until smooth, making sure to blend all cashew pieces well.
- Pour liquid into small ramekins or crème brûlée dishes. Chill in refrigerator until set, approximately 4 to 5 hours.
- Once set, top with sugar and caramelize with a blowtorch until evenly browned. Crack top layer with a spoon and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
- Not all sugar is vegan, so be sure to use a vegan sugar, like Sugar in the Raw.
- For gluten-free vegan crème brûlée, make sure your turmeric is gluten free. Most herbs and spices are safe, especially if they're fresh, but some manufacturers may add a little flour to prevent caking.
- If you don't have a blowtorch, you can get the same effect in the oven. Place the ramekins of set custard under the broiler for 1 to 3 minutes, or until the sugar is evenly browned.
