Ingredients

Scale

12 oz extra firm silken tofu
2/3 cup unsweetened plant milk of choice
1 tbsp unsweetened creamy cashew butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp cornstarch, arrowroot powder or 1–2 tsp agar
1/4 cup granuated organic cane sugar (plus more to brûlée)
pinch of salt

Instructions

Add all of your crème ingredients into a food processor or blender and blend or process until completely smooth.
Transfer the mixture into a saucepan over low heat, whisking constantly. Cook for a few minutes, until the mixture starts to thicken slightly and the cornstarch or agar are activated.
Next, pour the mixture into ramekins or heat safe dishes and let chill in the fridge until set or ready to serve.
When ready to serve, sprinkle the top of your ramekins or dishes with additional granulated sugar (roughly 1 tsp, more as needed) then use a butane torch to caramelize the sugar. Alternatively, you can pop the ramekins or dishes into the oven and broil until the sugar starts to brown.
