I’m not really sure why it took me this long to try my hand at a vegan creme brûlée., but I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was, without the traditional egg and cream base. Even though I’m a through and through pudding hater, something about the warm, crunchy sugary top and the cold, vanilla filling of a creme brûlée just speaks to me.

  3. To caramelize the tops: After the creme brûlée has chilled, top each with 1-2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, watching closely until the tops are a deep golden brown. Alternatively, you can use a kitchen torch to get the same effect. Serve.
