Custard Ingredients
- 2 cups plant milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch until well combined. Gradually add plant milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
- Cook Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble gently. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Continue stirring for another 1-2 minutes to ensure it is fully cooked and smooth.
- Add Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly for aromatic flavor.
- Chill Custard: Pour the custard into a bowl or individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap, placing the wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate the custard for at least 2 hours until fully chilled and set.
Notes
- Use full-fat plant milk for a richer texture.
- Stir continuously during cooking to prevent lumps and burning.
- This recipe can be flavored with other extracts like almond or lemon zest for variety.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
