Coconut Passion Brulee

We at LatinoLife are embracing Veganuary or 'Veganenero' as we say in Spanish. Come on its only one month! But, as we've hit the half-way wall of mid January we could do with a bit of inspiration, so we asked our favourite Colombian chef Marlon, and he gave us this version of Creme Brulée, not only full of tropical Latin flavour but dairy-free too!
