No-bake Eggless Green Tea Creme Caramel

Seeing how well my No-bake Eggless Chocolate Creme Caramel turned out, I was feeling rather bold and wanted to try a green tea version.

Voila!

No- Bake Eggless Green Tea Creme Caramel

Green Tea Custard :
2 Tbsp powdered gelatin
1250 ml full cream milk
80 gm castor sugar
3 Tbsp custard powder
2 Tbsp green tea powder

Caramel :
1 cup sugar
3 Tbsp water


Method:

Make caramel first

Put sugar and water in a small pot and heat on medium flame until it starts to turn a light golden brown. Watch it carefully and don't turn away (not even a sec!) when you're doing this because once the syrup turns golden it darkens very quickly after that and will continue to do so after removing from heat. Do not stir. Once the sugar/caramel turns a light golden brown, remove from heat, swirl the pot a little to let the colour even out and then pour directly into your mould or ramekin dishes. Swirl the mould around so that the caramel covers the bottom and reaches up the sides a little. Let cool and harden. Do this quickly as the caramel hardens in no time.

Make custard

Pour the milk into a medium pot and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let the gelatin soften a little. Meanwhile mix  the sugar, green tea powder and custard powder in a bowl, then add into the milk/gelatin mixture. Stir to mix and bring to a simmer STIRRING ALL THE TIME with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon. Sieve the custard. Pour the sieved custard into the mould over the hardened caramel and chill in the refrigerator overnight or until set.
