How to Make Vegan Creme Brulee

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Drain and gently press 14 ounces (400g) of silken tofu to remove excess water.
  3. Prepare 6 ramekins and a shallow baking pan (9x13 inch is ideal). Line the baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the bottom and extends up the sides slightly.
  4. Boil a kettle of water.
  5. In a food processor, combine the pressed tofu, ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup (120ml) soy milk, and a pinch of salt. Process until completely smooth.
  6. With the food processor running, gradually whisk in 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder until fully incorporated.
  7. Pour the custard evenly into the prepared ramekins.
  8. Place the ramekins in the baking pan. Carefully pour boiling water into the pan, reaching about two-thirds of the way up the sides of the ramekins. Avoid splashing water into the custard.
  9. Cover the pan with the parchment paper.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set. The centers may still have a slight jiggle; they will firm up as they cool.
  11. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 1 hour.
  12. Just before serving, sprinkle each Crème Brûlée with enough granulated sugar to form a thin layer on top.
  13. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until golden brown and hard.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful crackle!
