Vegan Custard

Print Recipe

A creamy and smooth vegan custard made without eggs or dairy. Perfect as a dessert on its own or as a filling for pies and tarts.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or sugar
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric (for color, optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and almond milk until fully dissolved with no lumps.
  2. Add maple syrup (or sugar), turmeric (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a custard consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the custard into serving bowls or use it as a filling. Let it cool slightly, then chill in the refrigerator if desired.

Notes

  • Turmeric is optional and only used for a yellow custard-like color.
  • Adjust sweetness according to your preference.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
