Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 100 g Sugar
- 30 g Cornstarch
- 1 pinch Turmeric (optional for color)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 sheets Dairy-free puff pastry sheets
- 2 tbsp Oat milk
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine almond milk, sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of turmeric if using. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve cornstarch completely.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture starts to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Once thick, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the custard cool completely at room temperature, then place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Unroll the dairy-free puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 6 even rectangles.
Place a generous spoonful of the cooled custard in the center of each pastry piece. Brush the edges with a little oat milk to help seal.
Fold the pastry over the custard to form a neat package and use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring a tight seal.
Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking tray. Lightly brush the tops with oat milk to aid in browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free custard-filled pastries warm or at room temperature.
