Vegan Custard
Serving Size: 4 people
DESCRIPTION
Creamy, velvety smooth, and rich vegan custard made with all plant-based ingredients. Make it in just 5 minutes for a beautiful decadent dessert. Use it in your cakes, tarts, pastries, or fruit cup.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 ½ cups oat brista blend
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup corn starch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon vegan butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon turmeric powder (small pinch) optional for color
METHOD
- Place all the ingredients minus the butter into a medium sized sauce pan.
- Whisk all the ingredients together till there are no more clumps of corn starch.
- Place the sauce pan on the low-medium heat and continuously whisk till it starts to thicken. This process can take 7 to 9 minutes. Note - Do not let it come to a boil.
- Once it starts to thicken, immediately remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter till it completely dissolves into the custard. Note: Use a wooden or silicone spatula to check if you custard is ready. Coat the spatula with custard and run your finger through the custard. If it stays clean, then it is ready.
NOTES
- Cook it low and slow: Cook vegan custard over low-medium heat, and don’t let the custard come to a boil.
- Don’t stop stirring: Continuously stir the mixture slowly and gently, making sure everything is fully mixed in the pan.
- Add butter at the end: Add the butter at the end so the flavor is preserved in the final product.
- Cool it completely: Let the custard cool completely before using or refrigerating it. This will allow it time to properly thicken.
