Dairy-Free Custard
During the Holiday Season. my mind does tend to wander towards sweets and treats. I like to have a few healthy dessert recipes on hand for when I get that itch for something yummy.
This vanilla custard takes only a couple minutes to make using a few pantry ingredients.
Having a lactose free custard recipe up your sleeve, that tastes every bit and better than the regular custard you might be used to is a good thing to have.
There have been so many times I’ve made this unexpectedly and it uses ingredients you’ve likely already got, plus it only takes minutes.

Almond Milk Custard
Can you make custard with Almond milk? This custard recipe is made with Almond milk so that’s a big yes!
I’ve used almond milk in my recipe only because I’ve been noticing that dairy at night doesn’t agree with a few us in the family.
Maybe it’s a lactose intolerance or maybe it’s just because we tend to lounge around at night – I’m not too sure. Either way – this Version of Vanilla Custard is thick, smooth, creamy and tastes incredible and is a lot lighter on the stomach.
Maybe you’re not eating dairy, maybe you’re trying to cut down on the dairy you eat, either way, this custard won’t disappoint.
You can buy store bought dairy free custard, but for the Clean Eating version you can’t get much better than this!
