Ingredients
-
1 cup (240 mL)vegan whipping cream
-
11 oz (300 g)silken tofu
-
½ cup (120 mL)coconut cream†

¼ cup (56 g)granulated sugar, for inside the cream
-

-
¼ cup (56 g)granulated sugar, for topping
Make your own
Directions
- Add the whipping cream and stabilizer to a food processor and blend until thick. Alternatively, use an electric hand mixer to whip the cream until thickened.
- Add the tofu, coconut cream, sugar, chocolate, vanilla, and cardamom and blend until smooth.
- Divide into ramekins and chill in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
- When ready to serve, transfer the ramekins to the fridge for 10 - 15 minutes so the top slightly softens. Then sprinkle 2 - 3 tsp of sugar over the surface of a ramekin. Shake the ramekin around to evenly distribute the sugar.
- Use a brûlée torch to melt the sugar. Using a high, close heat is best. The faster you can caramelize the sugar, the less melted the mousse below becomes.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- †Coconut cream is the thick white layer from the top of about 2 cans of full-fat coconut milk (of at least 18% fat) that have been refrigerated overnight. The amount of coconut fat separation can vary vastly from brand to brand. If there isn’t much coconut fat in your can, consider trying again with a different brand.
Storage
- Best if enjoyed immediately.
- If storing an already brûléed dish in the fridge, the topping will soften, but we have found that you can sprinkle it with more sugar and re-torch it, and it will be just as good.

I make this every year for Christmas, so delicious and decadent 🤤
What is cream stabiliser? Vegan whipping cream, is that like alpro soya cream?
Super decadent and creamy!! This is the first time I remember trying creme brulee and I absolutely loved it! I can imagine the fact that it was chocolate helped! 😁 The addition of ground cardamom really made it extra special too. Already thinking of investing in a blow torch as I had to use the grill this time round. It worked but I think a torch would make caramelising the top quicker and easier.
Looks delicious, I was wondering if you could explain what cream stabilizer is , thanks again
Oh this makes me very excited as I've never made creme brulee before, looks delish! Can you use agar agar or cornstarch as a cream stabilizer? I've seen other vegan creme brulee recipes use that. I do have access to the 'Klop Fix' as well but would rather use something I already have.
