Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cashews
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 20 drops Hedessent Rose Flavouring
  • 20 drops Hedessent Tahitian Bean Flavouring
  • Pinch salt

For Serving

  • 2 tbsp sugar - 1/2 tbsp each for torching/broiling

Instructions

  • Combine the coconut milk, 2 tbsp sugar, cashews, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. This may take up to 5 minutes.
  • Pour into a high-speed blender and add in the Rose and Tahitian Bean flavourings and salt. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds
  • Pour into 4 ramekins or dishes of choice, ensuring they are heat-safe if you plan on torching the sugar on top. Place in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours or overnight (the longer it sits, the thicker it will become).
  • Before serving, evenly sprinkle the tops with remaining sugar – approximately 1/2 tbsp each. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar and create a crispy topping (it should be golden brown with darker spots throughout). Enjoy!

Notes

ProTip:
The crème brûlée can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, but it’s best to torch the sugar right before serving.
Alternative Way to caramelize top if you don't’ have a kitchen torch:
1) Set your oven on Broil (high) and put your rack on the top shelf.
2) Let the oven get nice and hot (3-7 minutes).
3) Dust the tops of your custard with sugar
4) Fill an oven-safe dish with crushed ice and water and place your ramekins into the ice/water bath.
5) The cold bath should keep the custard from cooking. but the sugar on top will heat till it caramelizes. It'll only take 3-4mins.
