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.
