Egg less Mocha Caramel Pudding (A Pudding Combined With both Coffee and Chocolate Flavour )





Caramel pudding   is a milk based dessert with a layer of caramel sauce on top.It is very popular dessert   throughout the world.If you are  getting  bored with normal caramel custard  then you can try this Mocha Caramel  Custard, here I added instant coffee powder and cocoa powder.This time I made egg less version  of  caramel  custard by using gelatine. If you are vegetarian, then you can use agar agar or china grass instead  of gelatin.

Add vanilla essence  into the milk and mix.
Heat on a low flame  with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens .Stirring  Continuously.  
Pour the custard through a strainer  into the mould over the hardened caramel and chill in the refrigerator until firm. It will take 3-4 hours.


HOW TO UNMOULD

After 3-4hours ,take out the custard from fridge.
Loosen the sides with a knife carefully and invert on a plate. 


TIPS


If you do not want to use gelatine then you  can use agar agar  or china grass (it is a vegeterian form of gelatin )..you just follow the instructions  of using  agar agar or china grass instead of using gelatine .

5 tbsp  chopped agar-agar

Soak the agar agar or china grass in a 3/4 cup of cold water for 1 hour. Then heat on low flame until it dissolves and becomes a clear liquid.
