Instructions
 

  • To a medium saucepan, add the almond milk, coconut milk, sugar, potato starch, cornstarch, agar agar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the starches are fully combined with the milk.
  • Add the vegan butter and heat over medium heat, constantly whisking until it comes to a simmer and starts to thicken about 4 minutes.
  • Once the milk has thickened, immediately divide it between the ramekins and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  • For the crispy caramel topping: sprinkle about one tablespoon of light brown sugar (or regular white sugar) on top of each ramekin. Use your finger to spread it into an even layer.
  • Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar: hold the torch 2-3 inches away from the ramekins and use a circular motion to caramelize the sugar evenly. The longer you torch it, the darker the caramel will be. Note: Be careful not to caramelize it for too long, or it will become bitter.
  • Let the caramel harden for 1-2 minutes, and serve the crème brûlée immediately!
