Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of almond milk, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of cornstarch, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk them together until they are well mixed and free of lumps.
- Slowly pour in the almond milk while continuing to whisk the mixture. This will help to dissolve the dry ingredients and create a smooth mixture.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously with a whisk to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and to ensure even cooking.
- As the mixture heats up, it will start to thicken. Continue to stir for about 5-10 minutes, or until the custard reaches your desired thickness. It should coat the back of a spoon when it’s ready.
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Mix well to incorporate the flavor evenly throughout the custard.
- Let the custard cool for a few minutes before transferring it to serving bowls or cups. You can enjoy it warm or refrigerate it to serve chilled later.
- If desired, top with dairy-free whipped cream or fresh fruit before serving for added flavor and presentation.
Tips
- Whisk Like a Pro: The key to a smooth custard is continuous whisking. This prevents lumps and ensures a silky-smooth texture.
- Temperature Matters: Keep your heat at medium and stir constantly. Too high heat can cause burning or uneven thickening.
- Cornstarch is Your Friend: It's the secret to achieving that perfect custard consistency without dairy.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the sugar to your liking or use alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or agave.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: While delicious warm, refrigerating the custard allows the flavors to meld and creates an even more luxurious texture.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Fresh berries, dairy-free whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder can elevate this already amazing dessert.Pro Tip: For an extra smooth finish, strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve before cooling to catch any potential lumps.
