Vegan Creme Brulee Recipe!

-


Happy Tuesday again folks. As always I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend AND a wonderful Labor Day. This week's recipe holds a dear place in my heart. It's one of my moms and my favorite desserts (Note I said one of. So I will eventually be introducing everyone to the many other sweet and sugary foods that we love). Crème Brulee. It's creamy, it's custardy, its sugary. What's not to like? Except maybe the dairy products. This recipe calls for silken tofu. I care about all my readers enough to tell you this. If a store does not have silken tofu, only the firm tofu, GO TO ANOTHER STORE AND FIND SILKEN TOFU. I made the mistake in class that since we didn't have silken, I'll just use firm. Let me tell you, appearance wise was disgusting. It looked like vomit, and it was just extra chunky because it did not break down the way silken would have. I am so excited to hear what y'all think of this recipe. Enjoy!!!


Ingredients:
  • 12 oz Silken Tofu
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup soy milk
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla
  • 2 teaspoon arrowroot
  • 3 additional Tbsp of sugar (to sprinkle on top)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325.
  2. Prepare your ramekins in your shallow baking dish (for the water bath), boil water.
  3. Drain and press the tofu, then put tofu, sugar, vanilla, soy milk, and a dash of salt into the food processor. Once smooth, whisk in the arrowroot to the mixture.
  4. Pour custard into the ramekins, and pour hot boiling water into the shallow baking dish (not in the ramekins, please don't splash water into the custard) until it is about 2/3 of the way up on the ramekins.
  5. Cover the pan with parchment paper, and put in the oven for 40 minutes. If the center is still a tad bit jiggly, that is okay. Take it out, let it cool, and it will set fully. Remove ramekins from the baking dish and put them in the fridge for 1-2 hours to cool.
  6. Now time for my favorite part. The top!!! You're going to sprinkle sugar on top of your custard (Not too much, not too little, just enough to coat the top, but I always do a little extra because I am a sugar fanatic). Use a handheld blow torch, and pass the tip of the flame back and forth over the sugar until it begins to caramelize.
  7. Eat and enjoy immediately!!!!! It's not as good or crunchy/creamy if it sits. :)

    I have never had creme brulee, but heard about it often. It reminds me of custard, though, which I have had. So like you said, what's not to like? :-)

Healthy & Flavorful Vegan Meals

Sometimes it can be helpful to meal prep for the week, especially if you are typically really busy. Here are some recipes that may be good for you if you want to make some good meals for yourself and your loved ones. One meal you could do is take some of the Gardein Chicken tenders and bake those. You can put them over some rice or shredded veggies with some seasoning. I usually put a lemon on the side to add some extra flavor. Another thing that I typically put lemon on is some fishless fillets by Gardein. I had this with some cauliflower rice with lemon and garlic to flavor it. I also decided to have some zucchini on the side for extra vegetables. Another meal I love making wraps with some tortilla chips. For this above, you can stuff a tortilla with cucumber, tomato, hummus, and any other veggies that could be added. This is a great meal that can be healthy but filling. I like to have tortilla chips and salsa on the side as well. The last one that I want to sha

Veganism and Animals: Does veganism really help animals?

With all of the greener lifestyles that are being adapted all around the world there are tons of questions about exactly what veganism is, and exactly how it pertains to animals. For the vast majority of people it is extremely important to realize that you simply cannot make a sudden change like shifting from eating burgers every day to living a successful vegan lifestyle overnight. However, it is also possible to make some substantial changes that are on the path to becoming vegan and showing animals the respect that you believe they deserve. Many people in the quest to treat animals better are appalled to learn that many countries use some rather unconventional animals as food; this for many people can be action that triggers their desire to change to a vegan lifestyle, however for others it is simply another reason in a long list of reasons. Many countries such as China make usage of animals such as dog for their meals and many times people are unhappy to learn this, how

Healthy Snacks

Sometimes when you are in a pinch it can be a bit of a struggle to eat healthy. Sometimes you run out of produce when you are out and may have to settle for some packaged foods. There are some better options to reach for when you want to get a snack. There are definitely some good brands out there that I love getting for when I have a busy work day. Some of these snacks can be good for dipping in salsa or hummus, or any other dip. A lot of these snacks shown also have other flavors in that kind that are also really good to try out. I love all of the products I have tried by a brand called The Daily Crave so far. I love eating these as a snack with some hummus or you could find any other dip that may go well with this. I enjoy any sort of spread that can be eaten with this and you can also top it with some veggies as well. There are also some other really good flavors including tomato basil, barbeque, salt and vinegar, and sriracha. They have veggie, lentil, and quinoa ch
