Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the Vegetarian Custard. In a saucepan, whisk together almond milk and arrowroot starch until smooth. Add egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract or bean, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a custard like consistency. Set aside to cool.
  2. Next, create the Irish Whiskey Caramel Sauce by melting brown sugar and vegan butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in almond milk, whiskey (if using), and a pinch of salt. Continue to cook until it reaches a smooth caramel consistency. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. To assemble the dessert, pour half of the Vegetarian Custard into each serving dish, creating a bed for the raspberries. Layer fresh raspberries on top and drizzle generously with Irish Whiskey Caramel Sauce.
  4. Finish by sprinkling crushed graham crackers over the top, adding a touch of contrast and texture to your creation.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
