How to Make Vegan Coconut Custard

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch (or arrowroot powder), 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup almond milk (or your preferred non-dairy milk) until completely smooth.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir constantly for another 2-3 minutes, or until the custard has thickened to a pourable consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps. Stir in an additional 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
  5. Pour the custard into individual ramekins or a larger serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the custard to fully set and chill.
