Dairy-Free Coconut Matcha Creme Brûlée

Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 13.5 ounce can Coconut Milk full fat
  • 1/4 cup Tapioca Starch or you can use arrowroot powder or cornstarch
  • 3/4 teaspoon Agar Agar Powder or 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon agar agar flakes
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup or honey or another liquid sweetener of your choice
  • 4 teaspoons Matcha Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 4-6 teaspoons Cane sugar or coconut sugar to caramelize on top
  • Raspberries or mint (optional) for topping
  • Extra matcha (optional) to dust on top

Instructions
 

  • Place the coconut milk, tapioca starch, agar agar powder, maple syrup, matcha powder, and salt into a high speed blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat on medium-low heat. Be careful to not let the mixture come to a boil. Stir frequently and cook until the mixture has thickened significantly (10-15 minutes) to the smooth consistency of pudding.
  • When the mixture has thickened enough, spoon the mixture into 4-6 ramekins and let sit at room temperature for an hour to set, and then transfer to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to become firm.
  • Once the mixture has set, remove from the fridge and sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of sugar on the top of each creme brûlée. Use the blow torch to caramelize the sugar to a golden brown, or place into the oven broiler for 3-4 minutes.
  • Top with raspberries, mint, and extra matcha powder. Serve and enjoy!
