EGGLESS CARAMEL CUSTARD POWDER AND OATS BREAD PUDDING


I remember my mother used to make awesome bread puddings . Of course she used eggs , as that time  I was a hard core non vegetarian who couldn't survive without her daily dose of eggs , meat and fish . But after I turned a vegetarian ( only odd one in the family, for no specific reason) . I looked up google  and experimented  with several eggless versions of this classic dessert . After many trials and errors and several failed efforts ,I finally succeeded with this one.
         This is one of  my son's favorite desserts .
 I have made the  bread and butter pudding with  a few changes in the original recipe which calls for using eggs .I have even made this delicious pudding  in individual bowls . Though   the authentic recipe doesn't call for it ,I have ventured out  to use  powdered oats  .I didn't regret  it as my experiment clicked and the outcome was a super success .  I use malai ( cream formed on top of boiled and cooled milk ) , instead of butter  . 
  I  always feel  apprehensive while making the caramel . I think it's the trickiest part of this recipe If you aren't focused it  will burn and turn bitter  or crystallize
 This is a short cut recipe and can be made in a jiffy.

Yummy 😋 yummy

Sugar.                     3_4TBSP
Water.                     1TBSP

METHOD TO MAKE CARAMEL

Another Version of the yummy caramel pudding:-
COFFEE CARAMEL PUDDING
  Caramelized sugar

This is  also another of my family's very favorite desserts . In this version of the classic  caramel pudding , I have used coffee to give the pudding a coffee flavour along with the caramel . You can use cocoa powder / chocolate powder instead of coffee to make the pudding .

Sugar _ 2 TBSP
Water 2 TBSP
Mix 2Tbsp sugar n 2 Tbsp water in a thick bottom pan
on low heat till it is golden brown ( stir constantly)
Pour the caramel into a greased mould and swirl it so that it costs the mould evenly
Keep aside

Bread ( white/brown)  - 2 slices( I have used brown
Milk - 1cup
Sugar 1Tbsp

Tiramisu

TIRAMISU This is a sofisticated coffee flavoured layered Italian dessert . Tiramisu means ' cheer me up ' . Indeed it lives up to its name . It's comfort in every bite . A bite into it  , will pepp you up .        The kick of the coffee from the biscuits dipped in it  and the luscious  creamy texture of the cheese are incorporated beautifully together in harmony.           Tiramisu can be served in individual bowls, glasses or set in a shallow dish . Traditional Tiramisu is made savoiardi  sponge biscuits , eggs, sugar, mascarpone cheese  flavoured with cocoa and  alcohol .             It's important that the biscuits don't become too soggy or they will crumble and fall apart . You need to be able to taste  the coffee , but not make the dessert bitter at the same time.            As I feel that there is no end to experimentations and playing a...
