Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps from forming.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Serve the vegan custard cream on its own, or use it as a filling for pastries, tarts, or layered desserts.
