I saw this recipe sometime in 2010 and always wanted to try it. I finally tried it & made both the ice cream & crème brûlée. Just loved it! The flavours are so intense and yet so subtly sweet at the same time. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you for sharing.

In reply to egglessQueen. Yes they can. You can make them a day ahead of time.

Sanjana, Can these be made ahead of time and caramelize the top just before serving. If yes, then how far in advance can these be made.

Thanks for the great comments, everyone!

Hey Anonymous, thanks for the lovely feedback! Indeed that is a typo and should read 3.5! I'm so sorry about that. I hope next time is even more delicious!

I made this recently and followed your recipe exactly, and — while it is O-M-G delicious — it did not set. It was more a "thick sauce" consistency instead of the custard of a real creme brulee. What would you suggest I change to make next time set more firmly? (And oh yes, there WILL be a next time!) I did notice that your Creme Brulee recipe asked for 1.5 tbsp corn starch, while the Ice Cream recipe asked for 3.5 tbsp. Should they be the same amounts?

Thank you for the great comments everyone.

Minticetea- Lovely to hear from you- so sorry it was a chore for you to find me. I will definitely add a link to my flickr stream. You are indeed correct, I am Bardai Brahmin. Where abouts are you from? Yes- please do visit again!

Thanks for sharing the recipe Sanjana. :)
First time to your blog and already finding myself becoming a fan of your recipes.
I was looking for eggless creme brulee and found your blog after stumbling to your flickr stream.
Just a suggestion - You should add a link to your blog in your flickr profile or with the pictures. I had to find it through flickr-google combination.
I would love to try this recipe but looks like I am missing some of the ingredients ...so guess it will have to wait a few days :(
Btw... gathering from the surnames mentioned on your "about" page... you belong to Bardai brahmin cast from Kathiyawad in Gujarat. Interesting, I also belong to the same place and cast. Guess, gives me one more reason to visit your blog again. :)
Cheers!

Sanjana,
I am new to your blog, and I am truly delighted in knowing you have created eggless recipes. I too am a vegetarian, and find other ways of getting around not using eggs in my recipes. Kudos to you for creating an unchaotic eggless creme brulee.

Thanks for the wonderful comments everyone!

Puja- You can use whipping cream or single cream if you wish. If you can't find vanilla pods just add 2 tsp vanilla extract. Hope that helps!
