1

Prepare the Vegan Custard

Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of non-dairy milk, 1 cup of coconut cream, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches a gentle simmer. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Once the milk mixture is simmering, slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture, whisking continuously. Continue to cook the custard for about 2 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

2

Prepare the Ramekins

Lightly grease four oven-safe ramekins or custard cups with a little oil to prevent sticking. Pour the custard evenly into the ramekins, filling them about 3/4 of the way full. Place the ramekins in a baking dish or roasting pan and carefully pour boiling water into the dish, creating a water bath that reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This will help ensure even baking and prevent the custard from curdling.
