što/
1 šalica punomasnog kokosovog mlijeka
1 jušna žlica tapioka škroba
1/3 šalice kokosovog šećera
1-3 jušne žlice agavinog sirupa (opcija, ako volite slađe)
nekoliko kapi ekstrakta vanilije
1/2 šalice vode
2 jušne žlice narezanih traka agara*
+ za tekuću karamelu
1/3 šalice punomasnog kokosovog mlijeka
3 jušne žlice kokosovog šećera
*ako koristite pahuljice agara ili agar u prahu, količina će biti puno manja. Budući da su ovo bile odokativne i poluimprovizirane količine i da po internetima ima jako malo informacija o korištenju agara u trakama, idući put ću ga izvagati, a do tada vam možda posluži informacija da se obično na litru tekućine (ovdje računamo ukupni volumen vode i kokosovog mlijeka) stavlja 10-15 grama agara. Ja bih išla s manje od 10 po litri, jer ovdje ne želimo dobiti čvrsti žele, nego samo učiniti kremu kompaktnijom i lagano pudingastom.
kako/
U jedan lončić ulijte 1/2 čaše vode i stavite 2 žlice narezanih traka agara. Stavite kuhati na laganu vatru uz povremeno miješanje, dok se sav agar ne otopi. U isto vrijeme u drugom lončiću dobro pomiješajte šalicu kokosovog mlijeka, tapioku, kokosov šećer, agavin sirup i vaniliju, stavite na laganu vatru i uz stalno miješanje kuhajte nekoliko minuta, odnosno dok se lagano ne zgusne. Maknite oba lončića s vatre, ulijte vodu s agarom u smjesu s kokosovim mlijekom i dobro pomiješajte. Ulijte smjesu u kalupe ili zdjelice i stavite u hladnjak da se zgusne i ohladi (oko sat vremena). Za to vrijeme napravite sirup od karamele - pomiješajte 3 žlice kokosovog šećera s 1/3 šalice kokosovog mlijeka i kuhajte na laganoj vatri da se sjedini i malo zgusne. Hlađenjem će se karamela dodatno zgusnuti zbog udjela kokosovog ulja u kokosovom mlijeku, tako da ne trebate čekati da se potpuno reducira; nekoliko minuta uz miješanje će biti dovoljno. Ohlađene deserte izvadite iz kalupa (ili jednostavno ostavite u zdjelicama) i prelijte karamelom. I to je to, guštajte!

vegan caramel custard
There is a traditional Croatian dessert from Dubrovnik region, called rožata, that is very similar to crème caramel. Long story short, without an intention to create a plant-based treat and call it by the name of a cake of which main ingredients are eggs and cream, I did create a dessert that was rediculously similar in taste and texture to the...ahem... "real" thing.. so I present you - a plant-based caramel custard. No eggs, no milk, no cream, but still so freakin custardy... just amazing!
what/
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
1 tbsp tapioca starch
1/3 cup coconut sugar
2-3 tbsp agave nectar (optional, if you like it sweeter)
a few drops vanilla extract
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp agar stripes cut in smaller pieces*
+ for the caramel
1/3 cup full fat coconut milk
3 tbsp coconut sugar
*keep in mind that if you use agar flakes or powder, you will need much less; next time I make it, I will weigh it to have a more precise info. Until then, you could use a tip that it's most common to use 10-15 grams of agar to thicken 1 l of liquid (here you count coconut milk and water). Here i would use less that 10 g per liter because you don't need to get a firm jelly, but rather thicken the cream just a bit and get a (softer) pudding-like consistency.
how/
In one saucepan, mix agar and 1/2 cup of water, put on a low heat and simmer until all agar dissolves. At the same time, mix 1 cup coconut milk, 1/3 cup coconut sugar, agave and tapioca to combine well, and put it on the stove. Simmer over low heat for a few minutes, until it thickens a bit from tapioca absorbing water. Remove both saucepans from the heat, pour the agar water into thickened coconut milk mixture and mix to combine. Pour the mixture into moulds or bowls and let it thicken and cool down in the fridge (for about an hour). In the meantime, cook the caramel - mix coconut milk and coconut sugar in a saucepan and cook on low heat for a few minutes while constantly stirring. It will thicken more as it cools down, as coconut oil from coconut milk solidifies below room temperature. Take the thickened desserts out of the moulds and pour caramel over them. Bon appétit!
