Caramel Pots de Crème

I've recently started the Dukan diet and am trying new recipes to vary my food. Desserts are the hardest on this diet, since all fruit is proscribed.

This is an easy recipe, and valid for all phases of the diet, but you have to be patient since it is best made the night before.

Ingredients

• 3 cups of non-fat milk
• 1/2 tsp agar-agar
• 1 1/2 tsp liquid Hermestas
• 4 egg yolks
• 10 drops caramel extract *
  

Directions

• pour the cold milk into a sauce pan
• add the agar-agar and stir well and let rest for 15 mins
• add the Hermestas
  
• beat the egg yolks in a separate bowl
• brink milk to a boil and wait 1 minute
• add roughly 1 cup of the hot milk to the egg yolks and stir
• return the egg/milk combination to the sauce pan and, stirring constantly, boil for another two minutes
• add the caramel extract
  
• pour into cups and let cool
• when at room temperature, put in the refrigerator to set over night

Comments
This is very light. I might try to make it more custardy by reducing the milk next time.
