Ingredients

Vanilla pudding

  • 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) unsweetened plant milk e.g. soy or almond milk
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or vanilla pudding powder
  • 1 tbsp raw cane sugar or other sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp turmeric optional for color
  • ½ tsp agar powder 100% pure powder

Topping

  • 1 tbsp raw cane sugar or other sugar

For garnish (optional)

  • raspberries, red currants, pomegranate seeds, desiccated coconut and mint

Instructions 

*Note: Check out the recipe video + step-by-step pictures above!

  • In a small cup, whisk together plant milk and agar until the powder is completely dissolved.
  • In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, cornstarch, raw cane sugar, vanilla and turmeric. Then stir in the agar mixture and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens nicely.
  • Then pour into 3 small 4-inch (10 cm) quiche pans and let cool in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
  • Once the pudding is completely set, remove from the refrigerator and sprinkle about 1-2 teaspoons of sugar on top of each pudding. Caramelize the sugar with a blowtorch to create a crisp surface.
  • Garnish the crème brûlée with raspberries, red currants, pomegranate seeds, desiccated coconut and mint as desired and serve immediately!

Notes

  • If you don't have a blowtorch, you can sprinkle the cooled pudding with sugar and then put it in the preheated oven at 392 °F (200 °C) broiler setting for a few minutes until the sugar is caramelized. In this is the case, make sure to use oven-safe dishes.
