Your little ones are sure to love this delicious and creamy dairy free homemade custard recipe. It is lunchbox friendly as it uses oat milk over other dairy free nut based alternatives, although if you like, the oat milk can be swapped out for most milk alternatives. With just a saucepan, whisk, and a few basic ingredients, you can create a wholesome creamy dessert without any fancy equipment.

Tools:

• Medium saucepan
• Heat safe whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Heat safe bowl
• Fine-mesh sieve (optional, for smooth texture)

Ingredients:

• 500ml Oat Milk (or dairy milk alternative)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon corn flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Dash of maple syrup to sweeten

Method:

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the oat milk over medium heat.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cornstarch.
3. Add vanilla and maple syrup to the milk.
4. Slowly pour the hot milk over the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
5. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat. The custard will begin to thicken after a few minutes.
6. Optional - for an ultra-smooth texture, you can strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
7. Allow to cool completely before placing into your Sinchies Reusable Pouches. Cover with glad wrap to ensure a film doesn’t form on the top of your custard.

Storage:

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
