Ingredients

  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1½ cups almond milk (355 ml), preferably vanilla-flavored and unsweetened
  • 6 teaspoons raw sugar (about 1½ teaspoons per ramekin)

Instructions

  1. Whisk egg yolks and honey in a medium mixing bowl until smooth.
  2. Heat almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
  3. Slowly whisk hot almond milk into the egg yolk mixture to temper.
  4. Return mixture to saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened. Do not boil.
  5. Divide custard among four ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until set.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle 1½ teaspoons raw sugar over each custard.
  7. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crisp.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes, then refrigerate for 1 hour before serving for best crust.

Notes

  • Infuse almond milk with citrus zest or spices for extra flavor.
  • Use high-quality almond milk for a creamier texture.
  • Caramelize sugar just before serving to maintain crisp topping.
  • Do not reheat custard after chilling.
