This vegan custard is made with just 5 pantry staples and is ready in 5 minutes! It’s perfectly sweet, ultra-creamy, and so versatile. Serve it as-is, use it to fill donuts, incorporate it into fruit tarts, and much more. Plus, it’s easy to customize!
Start by whisking together soy milk and cornstarch to ensure a smooth base with no lumps. Add the rest of the milk and the sugar, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the vanilla extract and turmeric, then let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until you achieve a thick, creamy texture. Make sure to scrape the sides with a spatula to keep the mixture smooth and lump-free.
Remove your vegan custard from the heat and let it cool. You can enjoy it at room temperature or let it chill in the fridge to enjoy later. If you’re not serving it immediately, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Happy eating!
