Introduction: 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:
