Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups unsweetened plant-based milk (oat, almond, or soy)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter (optional, for richness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional, for color)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

Instructions
 

  • Off heat, whisk plant milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan until completely smooth with no lumps.
  • Set over medium heat, whisking constantly and scraping the sides and corners, until the mixture thickens and slow bubbles appear, 5–8 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Whisk in vegan butter (if using), vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of turmeric for color.
  • Serve warm as a sauce, or pour into ramekins. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin and refrigerate until chilled and set.
