I love creamy and sweet desserts.
Who Doesn't?
This custard is divine, but also incredibly healthy.
It a breeze to make especially if you have a Vitamix or other high power blender.
Filled with pumpkin and cashew goodness it is high in fiber, protein, healthy fats and lots of nutrients.
This custard is:
Sugar free
Dairy free
Egg free
Gluten free
Vegan
Agar is a vegetarian gelatin made from seaweed. It's been long used in Asian cooking for making desserts. You can find it in health food stores or on Amazon.com
Put in you blender:
1/2 cup raw cashews
1 tablespoon agar flakes
A pinch of sea salt
Mix to a fine powder
Add 1 1/4 cups of boiling water and mix until combined
*** CAUTION: make sure your blender is closed tight so you don't end up getting burnt!
Add the following:
1 1/2 cups of baked pumpkin (you can also use canned)
1/4 cup of maple syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
A pinch of allspice
1 inch piece of lemon peel

Pour into six cups and refrigerate until it sets, about 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
