Vegan Custard

Here are two of my favourite things,  Birds Custard Powder and Kara Coconut Milk alternative.  Both are vegan.

I have tried a few different vegan milks to make up this custard and I have found the Kara to be the best by far.   It does not have a funny taste that you sometimes get with soya milk.  And lots of people cannot have soya so this is a great option.  It just tastes lovely and custardy.

Custard is so easy to make,  you mix a little sugar to a little custard powder with some cold milk,  then warm up some milk and stir in the custard mix.  Keep stirring until the custard thickens to your personal choice of texture.  Thick custard works great cooled on desserts and in trifles, but my favourite is hot thick custard over some cake or even on it’s own.

Both are suitable for vegans and vegetarians and sold in supermarkets.  The Kara is sold in lots of places especially health food shops.
