Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a baking dish with hot water for a water bath.
- 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla extract, turmeric powder, and a pinch of sea salt.
- 3
Whisk the mixture over medium heat until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly.
- 4
Once thickened, remove from heat and pour the mixture into four small ramekins.
- 5
Place the ramekins into the prepared baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are set but still slightly wobbly.
- 7
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
- 8
To prepare the brulee topping, sprinkle an even layer of granulated sugar over the chilled custards.

Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it turns golden and crispy. Alternatively, broil it in the oven for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
