Dairy-free Butterscotch Custard

Course: Sweet Treats
Cuisine: Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 600 ml Coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp gluten-free cornflour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla
  • 2 tbsp Butterscotch Schnapps optional

Instructions

  • Whisk together cornflour and 2 tbsp of the milk until there are no lumps and set aside.
  • Whisk together the eggs, sugar and 100 ml of the milk.
  • Bring the remaining milk and vanilla to the boil.
  • Whisk in the cornflour and cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes.
  • Carefully pour the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking to prevent lumps.
  • Return the milk mixture to the pot and cook gently (without boiling) until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the Schnapps.

Notes

You can omit the Schnapps for a plain boiled custard, or add brandy or your favourite tipple of choice instead.
