Gelatin has to be one of the most fun superfoods. Want to eat healthier and give your body a dose of powerful nutrients? Make jello. Or a smoothie. Or creme brulee.
Use as much or as little sweetener as you think your family needs to enjoy this dessert. I found 1/2 cup was extremely sweet (think pre-whole food days sweet), so I prefer less.Â
GAPS & Paleo (Dairy-free!) Creme Brulee
Ingredients:
1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk (find coconut milk here)Â
3 egg yolks (from pastured eggs)
1/4-1/2 cup honey (find honey here)
2 tablespoons pure vanilla
1 teaspoon gelatin (find gelatin from grassfed cows here)Â
Ground cinnamon or sliced fruit, as garnish (optional)
Directions:
Combine coconut milk, egg yolks, honey, and vanilla in a medium-size saucepan with an immersion blender. Heat over medium heat until warm through, then stir in the gelatin and use the blender to mix it in thoroughly. Pour into individual glass bowls or a glass baking dish. Cover tightly then refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight. To serve, garnish as desired.

This looks amazing! I’m looking forward to trying this.
When I’ve made things in the past with gelatin, I have trouble with it clumping. How warm do you heat the milk mixture? I think that’s been my problem.
Using the immersion blender should help :) I’ve only had it clump when I added it to hot mixture and then tried to stir it with a fork. Adding it to the cold mixture can help as well.
Hello Cara,
I tried purchasing the gaps introduction diet and tried twice and it gave me an error. I think it was on Sunday. I sent you an email but didn’t hear back. I am going to try again, but hope that my credit card doesn’t get charged many times.
Thanks for great info.
How many servings is this? I’m guessing four, but would like to know for sure. Thanks!
yes, four :)
I’m wondering ho this would work with ‘no egg’ egg replacer? It would not be paleo any more but we have an egg/dairy allergy here
