Method

Prepare the Caramel:

• So add the maple syrup, salt, coconut sugar, and white vinegar to a small pan. Then heat over medium heat, and stir regularly until it starts to boil. Then let it boil for about 25-30 seconds, and make sure it doesn't burn.
• Then immediately remove from heat and divide the caramel into 4 small ramequins. Now tilt each ramequin to spread the caramel in the bottom. Then set aside and let it cool for at least 15-20 minutes.

For Crème:

• Now in a medium pan, combine the almond milk, maple syrup, coconut cream. Then add the cornstarch and agar and whisk to dissolve.
• After then heat over medium heat, whisking constantly until it thickens. Then once it has thickened, then remove it from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and whisk again.
• Then cover the pan with a lid and let it cool about 5 minutes before pouring into the ramequins over the caramel. 
• Now let the crème caramel cool a bit at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator. Then refrigerate for at least 8-10 hours or overnight, the crème caramel will set and the caramel will melt.
• Now to serve, run a knife along the edges of each ramequin, cover with a plate and flip it. Then the caramel sauce will be on top and coat the crème.
• Then serve fresh, topped with the salted coconut crumble and enjoy!
