Coconut Crème Brûlée

Hey Foodies, today I am making Coconut Creme Brûlée. Coconut is something that I am always drawn to and knowing that you can make a brûlée out of it elevates both the creme brûlée and the coconut in this recipe. The coconut flavor is not over powering and the cream brûlée has a nice burnt sugar top and the custard is so smooth and satisfying. If you love custards and coconut, this recipe is perfect! I also forgot to mention that this recipe is so easy to make with a handful of ingredients. So if you want to make your own Coconut Crème Brûlée, then follow the step by step guide below or watch the video tutorial here:

I wonder how they would turn out if I replaced some of the cream with a little more coconut milk and added vanilla extract instead of coconut extract. Hmmmm, could I replace the cream with the coconut milk? Thank you for the inspiration! I will let you know if it works.

I don't know how it would work with the coconut milk. I never tried to replace it. I kind of dont think it would work out too well but you could always try it if you're willing to possibly have an oops batch lol.

Nice! Challenge accepted! I'm going to try to make this kept and use Swerve instead of sugar. I'll let you know how it turns out. Never burned Swerve before.

Awesome! Please let me know how it goes!

This made me realize I've never made creme brulee from scratch. I think once with a kit, I think? Would love to try yours!
