    Dairy-Free Mango Crème Brûlée 

    Crème brûlée is a classic French dessert that is traditionally made with just four simple ingredients: cream, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla.

    First made into a custard, the dessert is then topped with sugar and caramelized to create a hard caramel top. While it may sound fancy, making homemade crème brûlée is easier than you may think.

    Once you get the process down, you can experiment with yummy flavors — like mango, in this case.

    This mango crème brûlée is the perfect example of experimenting with a staple dessert recipe to make something new and delicious. 

    For this dairy-free version, fresh mango is pureed smooth and combined with egg yolks and coconut cream to make a delicious tasting mango custard.

    How to Make Dairy-Free Crème Brûlée

    While the traditional recipe is made with heavy cream, many people (including me) are sensitive to or intolerant of dairy — or they are simply looking for a plant-based alternative.

    In this recipe, coconut milk replaces the heavy cream, resulting in a naturally lactose-free crème brûlée that is still creamy and delicious.

    The coconut milk still provides the creamy texture needed to make this custard silky smooth, while also catering to those who prefer a dairy-free or lactose-free option. 

    Is This Dessert Gluten-Free?

    Yes, crème brûlée is gluten-free as long as you can verify that all of the ingredients used are gluten-free and free from cross-contamination.

    Mango Crème Brûlée 

    Not only does fresh mango give this crème brûlée its beautiful color and amazing taste, but it also adds important nutrients as well. In fact, the cup of mango used in this recipe provides 100 percent of your daily recommended Vitamin C!

    Mangos are no doubt the sunniest fruit in the produce aisle. Their sweet flavor and rich health benefits make them the most widely consumed fruit in the entire world. 

    MANGO NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS:

    The National Mango Board committed to increasing the consumption of fresh mangos and bringing the world’s love of mangos to families across the U.S. in easy and delicious ways.

    Surprising Mango Health Benefits:

    • Each serving of mango is fat-free, sodium-free, and cholesterol-free.
    • One serving of mango offers 100 percent of daily Vitamin C and 35 percent of daily Vitamin A.
    • Just one mango contains 12 percent of your daily fiber requirement.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cup fresh mango puree
    • 13.5 ounce full-fat coconut milk
    • 1 whole vanilla bean split and scraped
    • 8 each egg yolks
    • ½ cup white, granulated sugar divided

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
    • In a medium pot on the stovetop or in a tea kettle, bring 6-8 cups of water to a boil.
    • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the fresh mango puree, coconut milk, and vanilla bean. Stir well. Bring mixture to a boil.
    • Once boiling, turn the heat off and allow the mixture to stand for 10 minutes.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and ¼ cup sugar until well combined.
    • While whisking, slowly ladle the mango cream into the egg yolk mixture until all of the cream is fully incorporated.
    • Pour the final mixture evenly into small oven-safe ramekins.
    • Place the ramekins into another larger, oven-safe vessel.
    • Pour the boiling water into the vessel, around the ramekins, until the water reaches ⅔ of the way full.
    • Carefully place into the oven and bake for 40 minutes. You want to make sure the custard is set on the outside edge with a soft (but not soupy) center in the middle.
    • Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Allow the ramekins to cool while still in the water bath.
    • When able to handle ramekins safely, place in the refrigerator, uncovered, to finish cooling.
    • Allow cooling completely, at least 3 hours. Overnight is best.
    • Crème Brûlée can sit in the refrigerator for 2-3 days before caramelizing if needed.
    • Caramelized Sugar Topping
    • When caramelizing the tops of your Crème Brûlée, be sure to work one ramekin at a time for the best results.
    • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the Crème Brûlée and gently shake to distribute evenly among the top.
    • With a lit torch, hold the base of the Crème Brûlée in your hand and gently torch the sugar.
    • As the sugar starts to melt, keep the torch and ramekin moving in circular motions to evenly distribute the heat and prevent burning.
    • The sugar should be golden brown and create a syrup-like consistency that will be rock hard when cool.
    • Allow cooling for 2 minutes before serving.
    • Garnish with fresh mango as desired.

    Notes

    * Your cooking time will vary depending on the size and depth of your ramekin.
    * When placing your ramekings into an oven safe baking dish, add a tea towel to the bottom of the dish to prevent the ramekins from slipping.
