How to Prepare Matcha Creme Brûlée [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Add all of the matcha creme ingredients to a saucepan over high heat. Bring the coconut milk almost to the boil, stirring continuously as you do so to prevent burning and to mix all the ingredients evenly. The agar agar flakes should soon start to dissolve.
Before the contents boil, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir a few more times to ensure all the ingredients are evenly blended. Then, set aside to cool.
Pour the cream into 6 individual ramekins or one large dish and place in the refrigerator to set for about 3 hours or more. If allowed to set for longer, simply drain the excess fluid that will form.
Top the creme with white sugar, then caramelize using a kitchen blowtorch. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
To make the coconut whip, throw everything in a standing mixer an set aside to chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Top the creme with coconut whip and serve immediately.
