Preheat oven to 300° F.
-
In a medium bowl combine yolks and 3/4 cup sugar until creamy. Add vanilla and whisk again.
-
In medium saucepan heat cream and coconut milk over low heat and bring to a slight boil; remove from heat immediately and set aside to cool for 1-2 minutes.
-
Slowly add cream into egg yolk and sugar mixture and whisk until creamy and well combined.
-
Pour custard evenly into 4 ramekins and place in a baking dish/pan. Add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
-
Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes until custard is almost set, but still very slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Once done baking, cool at room temperate then refrigerate for an hour.
-
Preheat oven to broil.
-
Mix 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of regular sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the tops of the custard.
-
Place dish under broiler until sugar begins to melt and caramelize. Watch carefully, this shouldn't take more than a few minutes!
-
Place back in refrigerator for up to 30 minutes if you like your creme brulee served chilled.
-
Cool until ready to serve or chill until cold. When ready, sprinkle with about 2 tsp white sugar and torch until crispy and brown.
-
Pour mixture evenly into 6 6-ounce ramekins (custard dishes). Place ramekins in a baking dish and add enough hot water to come about half way up the sides of the ramekins.
-
Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes until custard is almost set. The custard will be mostly firm but still jiggle slightly in the center when tapped.
-
Remove from water bath and let cool slightly. Place in refrigerator and chill overnight.
-
Just before serving sprinkle 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar over each custard. Use a torch to melt the sugar OR place ramekins on a cookie sheet and then under a preheated broiler. Cook until sugar is a golden brown (about 3 minutes).
