Almond Milk Custard

  • Author: Feyza Kirmaci
  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 2 Servings 1x

Description

This almond milk custard is dairy free but doesn’t sacrifice the taste or texture of traditional custard!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup + 1 tbsp Almond Milk
  • 4 medium Egg Yolk
  • 1/3 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener, divided in half
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the milk and half of the monk fruit sweetener in a medium saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, occasionally stirring, until the sweetener has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks and the remaining monk fruit sweetener in a separate mixing bowl until pale and creamy.
  3. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, constantly whisking to temper the eggs and prevent them from scrambling.
  4. Return the custard mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, constantly stirring, until it reaches 180°F/82°C on a thermometer. The mixture should thicken and coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove the custard mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and into a measuring cup with a spout. This will remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
  7. Pour the custard mixture into four ramekins and place them in a large baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  8. Bake the custards for 40-45 minutes in the preheated oven at 340°F/170°C or until set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Remove the custards from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. Then, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. 
  10. Serve the almond milk custards cold, garnished with your favorite toppings if desired.
