Indulge in the creamy, velvety goodness of Eggless Custard, a simple yet luxurious dessert thatβs perfect for anyone seeking a quick and egg-free treat. Made with just six pantry-friendly ingredients, this recipe relies on cornstarch to achieve a smooth, pudding-like consistency without the need for eggs. With its delicate sweetness, a hint of vanilla, and a buttery finish, this custard comes together in just 15 minutes from start to finish. Whether served warm or chilled, it pairs beautifully with your favorite garnishes like fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped cream. Perfect for vegetarians or those with egg allergies, this eggless custard recipe guarantees rich flavor and texture that feels anything but a compromise.
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, and a pinch of salt to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid any lumps forming.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring continuously with a whisk or silicone spatula to prevent scorching.
As the mixture begins to heat up, it will start to thicken. Keep stirring to ensure it cooks evenly.
Once the custard reaches a thick, pudding-like consistency (about 8-10 minutes), remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and butter until both are fully incorporated, giving the custard a silky texture and rich flavor.
Pour the custard into serving bowls or ramekins. Let it cool slightly before serving warm, or refrigerate for a chilled dessert.
Garnish with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, before serving.
