How to Make Vegan Vanilla Banana Custard

  1. Whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Add 2 cups plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat work well) and 1 ripe medium banana (mashed) or 2 egg replacers, whisking vigorously until completely smooth and lump-free.
  3. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the custard thickens significantly. This will take about 8-10 minutes. The mixture will start to bubble and coat the back of the spoon.
  4. To check for doneness, dip a wooden spoon into the custard. Run your finger across the back of the spoon; if the trail remains, it's ready.
  5. Remove the custard from the heat immediately once it reaches the desired thickness.
  6. Whisk in 2 tablespoons vegan butter (or coconut oil), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
  7. Pour the custard into a serving dish. Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming as it cools.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
