French Kiss – Vegan Creme Brulee

Watch a Demonstration Video Below

You never forget the first kiss; You never forget your first Crème brûlée!

I will never forget the Cream Brulee that kissed my mouth for the first time❣️

It happened somewhere in the early 1990s at the mythical “L’Intercott” restaurant, then on Ben-Yehuda Street. At that time, I was just out of the ultra-Orthodox world, so restaurants in general and French restaurants, in particular, were not part of my lifestyle.

Unfortunately, I pounced on the starter without thinking about the main course: cloud rolls with crispy crust alongside Foie Gras (a vegan recipe, highly recommended here) and a glass of white wine. Oh, how delicious and perfect it was.

When the main course arrived, I learned that I had missed the side dish that was served in the restaurant until recently: chips/fries as thin as matches; But instead, I earned a great Rösti(vegan recipe coming soon) next to a filet mignon and a green salad.
Since I was already full from the first course, I sadly watched how the waiter (who was also the chef) returned to the kitchen the plate with this culinary creation leftovers.

Then came the dessert! What can I tell you: Thanks, god, there is a special drawer for sweets in the stomach!

I cracked the Caramel Crust and took a bite: tears of happiness welled up in my eyes from the surprising encounter of the cold vanilla cream with the hot caramel. Divine pleasure!

Since I remember the taste of this first-time immortal dish very well, I think I accomplished the mission!

I prepared the recipe quite a few times for a demonstration video (coming soon) and all the tasting volunteers, most of whom are not vegans, confirmed that it is almost like the original recipe!

The advantage of this recipe is that it doesn’t require baking.

Ready? Let’s get started!

So how do you make vegan creme brulee?

First, we make a vegan yolk sauce; next, we cook vanilla cream with real vanilla beans (do not compromise !!!); The seeds hiding in the vanilla pods are the key to the dish’s success.
Make sure to scrape as many seeds as possible from the beans; Allow yourself to get into the ‘Wild West Gold Rush Mode” and use your fingers to “dig” the black gold seeds sticking to the spoon.
Combine the two sauces, pour the mixture into ramekins and refrigerate well.

Before serving, sprinkle a tablespoon of white sugar on each dish and caramelize with a burner.

A few caution words:
If this is your first time using a burner, be sure to read the operating instructions. The burner is safe to use, but t is recommended to place a metal mold under the Brulee ramekins.

Wait for a moment to allow the caramel to harden; Pound on it with a spoon to create some drama; Crack the crust, take a bite, and fly to higher worlds; Then return to take more of this ecstatic experience.

Tip: After eating the Brulee, don’t put anything else in your mouth for at least an hour – keep the vanilla flavor in the mouth for as long as possible.

Enjoy, and I would love to hear about your first “Brulee Kiss” experience ❣️
