Ingredients

• 2 cups Soy milk
• 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup Cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the soy milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, turmeric powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well to dissolve the cornstarch completely and distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 3

Continue to cook while stirring until the mixture thickens, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. The custard should coat the back of a spoon.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and vegan butter until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Pour the custard into a bowl and cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Allow it to cool at room temperature.

Step 6

Once cooled, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to allow the custard to set further. It can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold.

Step 7

Serve the vegan custard cream on its own, or use it as a filling for pastries, tarts, or layered desserts.
