Vegan Flan Recipe

Ingredients:

½ cup organic sugar

2 ½ cups plain soymilk

1 cup coconut milk (canned) *(shake or mix well before measuring)

1 Tbsp + 1 1/4  tsp agar flakes

2/3 cup maple syrup

1 Tablespoon kuzu (measure in rock form- do not grind first)

½ cup water

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla

Procedure:

Put sugar in a small saucepan over low heat. Stirring constantly being very careful not to let the sugar burn. Working quickly, pour hot syrup evenly between ramekins. Set aside.

In a heavy saucepan, pour soymilk and coconut milk. Add agar and whisk well. Bring to a boil then lower heat, cover and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the agar is completely dissolved.

*Note: You can test this by dipping a spoon into the mixture and making sure there are no flecks of agar left.

-Add maple syrup and whisk until well mixed. Dissolve Kuzu in water until there are no lumps. Increase heat to medium, and add to milk mixture, stirring until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

*Note: The mixture will only thicken slightly, to the consistency of cream.

Take off of heat and stir in vanilla. Divide milk mixture evenly into ramekins. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
