Cremelle ~ Instant Caramel Custard-Product review

IMG_51055
Do you like Caramel Custard?I used to love it but these days cannot eat it to my heart's content  because of the strong eggy smell,seems like my taste buds have changed over time.I searched a lot for eggless Caramel custard recipes but I was told the texture of the custard is difficult to achieve if no eggs are added.I came across this instant Custard mix which gives a perfect result,without eggs.


Cremelle is a product by Weikfield and is an instant Caramel Custard mix.While the traditional custard recipe requires a mixing-steaming-cooling process and the caramel part,this one gets done in less than 10 minutes from start to finish.

Cremelle comes with an Instant mix Custard powder and a ready-made Caramel syrup which you just need to pour into one big bowl or 4-5 small ramekins or dessert bowls.Boil 500ml milk with the custard powder mix provided till the milk boils.Cook for another minute stirring continuously and then switch off the flame.Let it cool for another 5 minutes and then pour into the bowl/bowls into which the caramel syrup has been poured.Keep in the fridge to cool and then invert and serve.

Only disadvantage I find with this is the Caramel part.First thing,it is not enough for 4-5 bowls,since I like the custard to be in caramel syrup and not just a caramel coating.Sometimes,the caramel has a faint smell and is a deep black color.Times when I am in a good mood,I prepare caramel myself and use only the custard part,which gives me Golden colored caramel and the custard looks [and tastes] great!


I've been using this to make Caramel Custard for years now and love it that each and every time I get the same taste and texture,but without the egg smell[and the eggs!]


Disclaimer-Cremelle has not paid me for this review.I've been using this product for some time now and just thought I'd share this with you!
