Vegan Caramel Custard Recipe

October 16, 2013 by maria 5 Comments

Homemade Vegan Caramel Custard Recipe!

My hubby loves caramel custard so made this specially for him. This recipe comes with a twist it’s a vegan version. This recipe has the same texture but it’s light, tasty and delicious. I took only few pics as all got over so soon.

Vegan Caramel Custard

Challenge was what to use to replace milk. I am not so fond of soy milk. So I made homemade coconut milk for this dessert. Also I am not so fond of eggs so replaced eggs with agar-agar. Mostly gelatin is replaced for eggs in mousse Or souffle. However I don’t like to use gelatin as it comes from animal source so used agar-agar.

Vegan Caramel Custard

Some information on agar-agar commonly known as china grass. Agar is a gelatinous substance derived from plant extracts, red seaweeds. It has a good source of calcium, fiber, vitamins, minerals and low calorie food. Also bear in mind it won’t set in vinegar, chocolate and spinach. Agar is eaten in Japan for loosing weight. As once you eat agar you will feel full won’t be hungry soon. Hence helps in curbing weight.

Agar is easily available in stores in packed form. You get them in powder form and flakes. It’s used generally for replacing gelatin. It gives a better texture than gelatin. Hence Agar is preferred over gelatin. As agar is more powerful than gelatin.

How to use agar??? ย dissolve agar in water for about 10 mins. Later boil it with hot water until it dissolves completely. Now mix with sugar/milk/coconut milk/ soy milk/ cream and boil for 10 mins more. Best is to follow the instructions mentioned on the pack for better result.

Notes for Vegan Caramel Custard:

  1. It’s important to follow the recipe to tee Or mentioned over the agar package.
  2. I prefer less sugar so add sugar as per your preference.
  3. You could use canned coconut milk for this recipe.
  4. If your custard hasn’t set properly. Please don’t panic may be it requires more cooking. So boil it for some time more.
  5. Also if your custard tends to be more firm don’t panic add little water and boil for some time.
