This creme brulee orange is the perfect treat to make for a special occasion, individual desserts, with a crackly caramelised top. And if you wanted to make the occasion a little more fancy, blowtorch it, in front of guests!
Not to mention this creme brûlée is also completely vegan!
This dairy free creme brûlée recipe was inspired by my individual chocolate puddings Which is a healthier alternative to traditional chocolate pudding as the setting agent used are chia seeds rather than gelatine, this provides the tart with extra nutrients, antioxidants and also an excellent source of omega 3's.

Ingredients
- Coconut cream - If your not a fan of coconut and don’t want to use it in your creme brûlée, I assure you, you can’t taste any coconut!

- Cornflour - this will help thicken the creme brûlée
- Plant based milk - you can use any plant based milk, form, soya, oat or coconut
- Orange - will be infusing the orange zest into the ..
- Brown sugar - will be using this to create the caramelised top
