Method
- 1Open the can of coconut cream and pour into a small saucepan.
- 2Place the saucepan on a low heat setting. Warm gently, stirring occasionally to ensure it remains smooth.
- 3Once warmed through (do not let it boil), stir in the honey and vanilla powder.
- 4Whisk briefly to incorporate the vanilla evenly.
- 5Serve immediately while warm for the best silky texture.
Serving Suggestions
This custard is incredibly versatile. It pairs beautifully with Chocolate Birthday Cake or Apple Crumbles.
If you prefer a thicker custard, you can simmer it on low heat for a few extra minutes to reduce and thicken naturally.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut cream (not milk) for that authentic, rich custard mouthfeel.
- Vanilla powder is used here for AIP compliance, but you can use vanilla bean seeds as well.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge; the custard will firm up into a mousse-like consistency when cold.
