Ingredients

• 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup Coconut cream
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder (optional, for color)
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk and coconut cream. Whisk until smooth.

Step 2

Gradually add cornstarch to the saucepan while continuously whisking to prevent any lumps from forming.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, turmeric powder (if using), and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk constantly to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Continue to whisk constantly as the custard begins to thicken. This will take about 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 6

Once the custard reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Pour the custard into a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap directly touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 8

Allow the custard to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 9

Serve the custard chilled as is, or use as a filling or topping for your favorite desserts.
