This recipe was inspired by a classic French dessert called crème caramel. Crème caramel is a custard dessert that is made with a layer of custard that is topped with a layer of caramel sauce. I wanted to create a vegan version of this dessert, so I used cashews to make the custard base and coconut milk to make the caramel sauce. The result is a delicious and healthy dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
