Ingredients & Substitutions
Raw cashews are essential for achieving the creamy texture. If you don't have agar-agar, you can substitute with cornstarch, but the setting may differ. Coconut sugar is preferred for its lower glycemic index, but brown sugar can also work.
Tips & Notes
- •Ensure the cashews are soaked long enough for a smooth blend.
- •Watch the sugar closely while caramelizing to prevent burning.
Recipe Variations
- •Add a pinch of turmeric for a subtle color change.
- •Incorporate a dash of espresso for a coffee-flavored version.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The caramelized sugar top may become soft, so consider re-crisping it under the broiler before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the custard a day in advance and refrigerate it. Just add the sugar and caramelize it just before serving.
What can I use instead of coconut milk?
You can use any non-dairy milk, but ensure it is thick and creamy for the best results.
