No Bake Eggless Créme Caramel

Crème caramel or caramel custard is a custard dessert with a layer of soft caramel on top, as opposed to crème brûlée, which is custard with a hard caramel top. The dish is eaten throughout the world eventhough is dessert is from French Cuisine.

Crème caramel goes for a plain custard where sugar syrup cooked to caramel stage is poured into the mold before adding the custard base. It is usually cooked in a bain-marie on a stove top or in the oven in a water bath. It is turned and served with the caramel sauce on top, hence the alternate French name crème caramel renversée.

But my version of No Bake Eggless Créme caramel doesnt need a oven and its completely egg free, this dessert goes for custard flour, Full fat milk, sugar and agar agar. Just with 4 ingredients you can make an incredible french dessert even if dont have oven at home. Have you noticed that this dessert is also gelatin free, i used china grass aka agar agar in this créme caramel, if you want to make with gelatin feel free to use it.

Ingredients

   Full fat Milk-4cups

   Custard Powder-3tbs

   Sugar (for custard)-1cup

   Agar agar powder -2tbs or 1/4cup Agar agar (chopped)

   Sugar for caramel-3tbs

Method

• Soak the china grass in 3/4 cup of cold water for 1 hour. Put to cook on a slow flame until it dissolves.
• If you are using agar agar powder dont do this step with it.
• Meanwhile make a caramel syrup, cook the sugar of caramel with water,pour the water just to cover the sugar.
• Cook the sugar until they turns golden brown, just tilt than pan and pour the caramel syrup to the ramekins and keep aside.
• Add in the custard powder,sugar to the milk and whisk well until the sugar and custard powder gets dissolves.
• Cook this mixture until its turns semi liquid. Now add the already prepared agar agar or agar agar powder.
• Cook everything in simmer until it turns thick.
• Let it cool a bit, spoon this eggless custard to the already prepared ramekins.
• Once the custard gets cool completely, cover the ramekins with a plastic wrap and place it in fridge for atleast two hours.
• While serving, loosen the sides of the ramekin with a knife. Invert the chilled créme caramel to a plate.

• Enjoy as a dessert.
