Ingredients
- 1 tin (400ml)/2 cups coconut milk
- 335ml/1⅓ cup soya milk
- 135g/⅔ cup white caster sugar (plus more for topping)
- 2 tsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp vanilla extract or paste
- 4 tbsp cornflour
- Pinch turmeric
- Pinch salt
- Raspberries, mint and natural vegan yoghurt or ice cream, to serve
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with the soya milk and set aside.
- Whisk together the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, sugar, salt and then add to a medium sized saucepan. Heat until nearly boiling.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and then add the cornflour/soya milk mix.
- Keep whisking for about 5 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken.
- Once thickened, add the vanilla paste and turmeric. Stir thoroughly and then pour evenly into 4 ramekins.
- Leave them overnight to set or for a minimum of 5 hours.
- Once set, sprinkle around 1½ tsp of caster sugar over each ramekin and spread it out with the back of a spoon to completely cover.
- Spray with a little water using a fine spray (the sort you buy in a craft shop) to just dampen the sugar – then use a blow torch to caramelise it. Hold the flame just above the sugar and keep moving it round and round until caramelised OR preheat your grill for 5 minutes on the hottest setting then place your ramekins on a baking tray directly underneath the heat source (make sure the ramekins are heat-proof) for around 2 minutes, or until golden.
Did you know that Vegan Recipe Club is run by a charity?
We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.
Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
