Ingredients
  

Custard Base
  • 2 cups Almond milk A creamy base that gives the custard its delightful texture while keeping it dairy-free.
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch Essential for thickening your custard, ensuring each bite is luxuriously smooth.
  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup Adds natural sweetness; feel free to adjust to match your personal taste preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract A splash enhances the flavor, giving your custard that classic custardy essence.
For Serving
  • Fresh fruits Top with berries or sliced bananas for a refreshing finish that pairs beautifully.
  • Cocoa powder Dust on top for a chocolatey twist, turning your smooth vegan custard into a chocolate lover's dream!
  • Nuts Add crushed almonds or walnuts for a delightful crunch that contrasts with the creamy texture.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • heat-proof glass bowl
  • whisk
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

Making the Custard
  1. Whisk together in a medium saucepan the almond milk, cornstarch, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Ensure the mixture is completely smooth before heating.
  2. Heat the saucepan over medium heat, whisking continuously until the custard starts to simmer, about 3-5 minutes. It should thicken to a creamy consistency during this time.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a minute. If desired, you can stir in a bit of turmeric for color at this stage.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a heat-proof glass bowl, whisking again to eliminate any lumps. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the custard to set fully and achieve its smooth texture.
Optional Toppings
  1. Top with fresh fruits or a sprinkle of cocoa powder before serving for added flair.
