Crème Caramel

Crème caramel, also referred to as flan, is a sweet, decadent dessert that is normally made with egg custard and caramelized sugar. Now, you can enjoy the rich flavors of this dessert with far cleaner and healthier ingredients. This recipe is dairy-free, egg-free and processed sugar-free. It’s instead made with coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, and coconut sugar. The best part? It tastes incredible. 

Crème Caramel

Ingredients:

Caramel:

• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp coconut sugar

Filling:

• ½ tsp melted refined coconut oil (optional)
• 1 cup full fat coconut milk
• 1 ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
• ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
• ½ tsp vanilla powder or alcohol-free vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp potato starch
• 1 ¼ tsp agar agar

Directions:

Lightly oil 4 molds or ramekins (optional but makes them easier to get out). Set aside.

Make the caramel by combining the maple syrup and coconut sugar in a small saucepan and whisking until the sugar has dissolved and you have a dark caramel. Divide between ramekins.

Place the coconut milk, unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, sea salt (if using), potato starch, and agar agar in a small saucepan and whisk until uniform.

Place the saucepan on medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until thick and simmering. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes, then pour into molds. Tap the molds on the countertop to remove any air bubbles. 

Refrigerate for 5 to 6 hours, best overnight.

Carefully turn out onto serving plates. Enjoy!
