Pumpkin Custard

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.

The Pumpkin 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.

Enjoy!
