Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (400 ml) Full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.125 teaspoon Turmeric
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 teaspoons Granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and turmeric. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps of cornstarch.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and bubble. This should take 8-10 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for that fragrant flavor boost.
Divide the custard mixture evenly among four 6-ounce ramekins. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon if necessary.
Allow the ramekins to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until the custard is set.
When ready to serve, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar evenly on top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it melts and forms a golden, crunchy layer. Alternatively, you can broil the ramekins in your oven on high heat for 1-2 minutes, but watch closely to avoid burning.
Let the caramelized topping cool for 1-2 minutes, then serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, plant-based dessert!
