Instructions

  1. To a blender pitcher, add all of the ingredients. Blend on the lowest setting for 10 seconds until all of the ingredients are fully combined and there are no lumps. Blend for more time if lumps are still present.
  2. Add the mixture to a sauce pan and whisk continuously for 5 minutes until the liquid thickens. Keep whisking until the desired custard texture is achieved.
  3. Eat immediately or transfer the custard to an air tight tupperware and store it in the fridge to enjoy cold.

Notes

  • Just keep stirring: Egg-free custard needs to be constantly whisked as it’s heated on the stove to prevent lumps from forming. Lumps can also form when the custard is cooling, so it’s a good idea to stir it every so often while it cools on the kitchen counter.
  • Use unsweetened oat milk: Sweetened non-dairy milk will make the custard too sweet. If all you have is sweetened milk, reduce the white sugar by 1 to 2 tablespoons.
  • For a thicker consistency: Only use ¾ cup of vegan milk to make a thick and creamy pastry cream (this is best for dessert tarts and stuffing into pastries).
