I have been eyeing on this recipe for a long time. And some of my viewers have been asking for eggless caramel custard recipe. So finally i decided to give it a try and it was a total success. My little daughter loved it so much and finished this entire portion all by herself.

Caramel Custard
This recipe is such a fool proof recipe, it gives you the perfect texture which you get from a proper creme caramel without the use of eggs. The key ingredient in this is agar agar. This is the brand which i used Meron Agar-Agar China Grass Sachet 30 Grams (10Gms * 3 Pack)
I was looking for a proper agar agar / china grass for a long time now. Some of the brand gives a awful taste and smell once it is set which i hate. Luckily i came across this brand Meron on amazon and thought of giving it a go. When i contacted them for the details, I am glad that they were kind enough to send me some samples so i can try them and share it in my blog.
Agar agar powder is way more easy to use than the strips or flakes, since it dissolves easily in liquid. In india finding agar agar powder is really difficult. But i am glad that i found out this brand. It is perfect and works like a charm too. No funky smells is found in this and it makes the pudding set properly and silkily. I strongly recommend their product.
