Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Custard
  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups of cashew milk, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 4 tablespoons of cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens and bubbles gently, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, whisking to combine thoroughly.
  4. Transfer the custard to a heatproof bowl and whisk for a few moments to maintain texture; let cool for about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin; chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours.
  6. Before serving, give the custard a quick whisk and enjoy as desired, whether on its own or in desserts.
