Does anyone have recipe for homemade custard?

[TinkerBlueBelle]

Hi,

My DD2 can't seem to tolerate milk or milk powders. I want to give her some custard as an after dinner treat but the baby custard mix that I bought gave her the runs. I want to be able to make it with soy and not custard powder. Does anyone have a recipe?

I was thinking that it must have maybe cornflour, sugar, vanilla and soy milk? Anything else? Quantities would be helpful :D
Thanks!

Oh Kstar23 Thank you, they sound yummy - may just make them for me!!! :laughing:

I guess I was on the right track with the cornflour!

Will give them a try tomorrow :D

Glad I could help, I haven't been around much the last couple of days, did you try them out?
Yep, you were spot on with the corn flour!

I make a rice milk 'custard' for my elimination-diet DS3

I just make up quantities so these are pretty rough guide

Heat about 1 cup of rice milk over med heat in a saucepan

Meanwhile, mix about 1 to 2 tbsp cornflour with a little bit of cold water and stir until dissolved.

Mix in a little bit of castor sugar (i just do a little shake) and a little dash of vanilla extract to the rice milk and pour in the cornflour mix. It will thicken very quickly and even more as it cools down. Both my allergic kids love this 'custard' - but they can't have eggs, so you might be better with the other from pp, this one's just a bit simpler.

I use to do a rice flour custard.

I would gently saute 2 tablespoons nuttelex with 2 tablespoons rice flour. I would then mix either mashed bananas, cocoa powder, drop of vanilla, then 2 cups oat milk stir really well and keep stirring until thick.
