Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 13oz can coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon Anima Mundi Golden Sun Milk Use code: "NATURALVEGAN" for 15% off!
- ⅔ cup plant-based milk of choice such as oat or almond
- ⅓ cup granulated sweetener coconut sugar, maple sugar, monk fruit
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons raw cane sugar for brûlée topping
Instructions
Make the custard base:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut cream, plant-based milk, sweetener, and Golden Sun Milk powder. Heat over medium, stirring frequently until it begins to gently boil.
Add the cornstarch slurry:
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of warm water or plant milk to create a smooth slurry. Once the custard base reaches a boil, reduce heat to low and whisk in the slurry. Continue stirring constantly for 3–5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Chill:
- Pour the custard evenly into 4 ramekins. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.
Brûlée the tops:
- Just before serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of raw cane sugar on each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it’s golden and crisp. Let cool 2–3 minutes for that signature crackly top.
