Creme Brulee - Remixed: Ann & Jason
Similar to Kim & AJ taking on baked mac 'n cheese, Ann & Jason decided to challenge themselves with making a dairy-free creme brulee.
Made with coconut milk instead of heavy cream, the taste did not disappoint. However, the consistency left a bit to be desired!

To make 8 we doubled the below recipe (which left a bit extra). Instead of the vanilla beans, we used vanilla extract where 1 bean = 1 teaspoon extract.
Ingredients
- 5 egg yolks
- ½ cup unrefined cane sugar plus 1 tbsp for each ramekin
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 2 vanilla beans
Instructions
- To start, begin heating about 6 cups of water in a tea kettle. You'll need this hot water when we go to bake the creme brulee.
- Turn the oven to 325.
- In a small saucepan heat the coconut milk on low.
- While that's warming up, use a mixer to whip together the egg yolks and sugar until the yolks are light in color.
- Slice the vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape out the vanilla bean pulp.
- Whisk the pulp into the coconut milk.
- When the coconut milk begins to simmer, remove the pan from the heat and slowly pour a small amount into the egg yolk mixture as you stir. This will help temper the eggs.
- Allow that to sit for just a short minute, then add the rest of the coconut milk and stir until well combined.
- Place 5-6 ramekins in a shallow baking dish and fill each with the coconut mixture.
- From the tea kettle, pour the hot water into the baking dish so that the water comes roughly to halfway up the ramekins.
- Very gently place the baking dish into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the custard is has set but still wiggles a bit. Let cool.
- When the ramekins have cooled to the point you can handle them, sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over the top of each dish and use your butane torch to heat the sugar until brown and crisp.
- Of course we want to sneak in healthy produce wherever we can, so top it off with a dash of your favorite berries that you just picked up at the farmer's market. :)
