Anyone who's ever been to Spain when they weren't a vegan will remember trying Flan, an egg custard set on a bitter caramel base so that after a while chilling the caramel melts and makes a sauce that coats the pudding when it is unmoulded.
This simple pudding is a 'custard' made from soya milk, vanilla, sugar and agar set in a ramekin containing some sugar melted to form a hard caramel. As the pudding chills the same transformation takes place and the end result is a light cool smooth pudding glazed with caramel and utterly delicious.
