what's lemon curd?

[abazureonna]

Lemon curd is usually made with eggs, so to use it in a vegan recipe, you'd have to make your own vegan lemon curd.

Oooh, though a quick internet search turned up this, which is delightful, because lemon curd is tasty.

[pinkpunkhippo]

you can get lemon curd by itself?

maybe you can.. i cant picture what it looks like

Here's a recipe using amasake:

I tried it once and I remember having problems, but I think that was because I used my broiler to caramelize the sugar (because I don't have a torch) and it made the whole thing melty and weird. I remember liking the flavor though - it just tasted like amasake, which I love.

there is a cashew based one in a vegan, macrobiotic dessert book i have, www.loveeric.net. i can type it up if you are interested?

cashew creme brulee

[icypumpkin]

for the creme brulee:
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup raw cashews
1 tablespoon agar flakes
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup maple sugar
6 oz solf silken tofu (mori-nu brand)

for carmelized topping:
6 teaspoons maple sugar

To Make:
Put agar, cashews, and salt in blender or food processor, and process to fine crumbs.
Bring the water to a boil.
Blend 1/2 cup of boiling water with cashew mixture for about 1 minutes. Gradually add the rest of the water, then process on high for two minutes.
Add the rest of the brulee ingredients, and blend for 1 more minute.
Transfer to a saucepan, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 10 - 15 minutes. Do not Boil!
Put mixture evenly in four ramekins. Put in the fridge til chilled.
To serve, sprinkle maple sugar on top, and carmelize with blow torch.

the end.
if you try this one, i'd be curious to know how it comes out..
also, if you don't want to get maple sugar (expensive) i'm sure another light colored sugar would sub fine.

i have no hints, but i do appreciate your enthusiasm for cooking with a blowtorch. There really aren't enough recipes that involve blowtorches these days.

Seriously!
