Vegan Custard Ingredients
- 4 tbsp custard powder
- 4 tbsp golden caster sugar
- 2 x 400ml cans low-fat coconut milk
- 200ml water
Instructions
- Prepare Custard Mixture: Combine the custard powder and golden caster sugar in a bowl. Add 2-4 tablespoons of coconut milk from one 400ml can and stir to form a smooth paste without lumps.
- Heat Coconut Milk and Water: Pour the remaining coconut milk from the first can into a saucepan along with the entire second 400ml can of coconut milk and 200ml of water. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is almost boiling.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually whisk some of the hot coconut milk mixture into the custard powder paste until smooth and well blended, then pour this back into the saucepan with the rest of the hot coconut milk.
- Cook Custard: Return the pan to a low heat and stir continuously as the mixture returns to a boil. Continue stirring until the custard thickens to a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from heat and allow the custard to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled, on its own or with your favorite vegan desserts.
Notes
- Stir continuously when heating the custard to prevent lumps or burning.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less golden caster sugar to taste.
- For a thicker custard, reduce the water to 100ml or omit it entirely.
- Use low-fat coconut milk to keep the custard lighter, but full-fat coconut milk will result in a richer texture.
- Ensure the custard powder used is vegan-friendly, as some brands may contain non-vegan ingredients.
