Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons Cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 600 ml Soy milk (2 + ½ cups)
  • 90 g Caster sugar (½ cup)
  • 2 TABLEspoons Vanilla extract
  • Tiny pinch Turmeric (optional, for colour)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with 4 tablespoons of the soy milk. Once smooth, add it to the rest of the soy milk and mix well.

  2. Add this mixture to a small saucepan along with the rest of the ingredients and place over high heat on the stove. Stir continuously until it becomes thick.

  3. Add the turmeric if using and stir it in. I'd recommend adding it a little at a time until you get a subtle colour as too much may affect the flavour.

  4. Remove from the heat for a few minutes before serving, or leave it to cool if desired.

Recipe Notes

  • Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Mix well before use.
  • To make the custard runnier, add a little soy milk while it's still on the heat. To thicken it, mix 1 teaspoon of cornflour with 1 teaspoon of cold water. Add that to the custard and stir on high heat for a minute or two. 
  • Reheat leftover custard in the saucepan, adding a little more soy milk to loosen it as required.
