Ingredients

2 cups Almond Milk
1/4 cup Sugar
3 tbsp Potato Starch
2 tbsp Cornstarch
2 tbsp Vegan Butter
1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste

Instructions

In a medium-sized pot, add the almond milk, sugar, potato starch, and cornstarch.
Whisk well to dissolve the starches and combine everything well.
Add the vegan butter and the vanilla bean paste.
Heat over medium heat, whisking regularly until the butter is fully melted.
Whisk constantly until the mixture completely thickens and comes to a gentle boil.
Remove from the heat as soon as the mixture has thickened and transfer to a bowl or deep plate
Immediately cover with plastic film that is touching the surface of the pastry cream as this will ensure that a skin does not form over the cream.
Let the cream cool for about 20 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Once completely chilled, the cream will thicken much more.
Before using the cream, whisk it once more as this will make it much smoother and creamier.
Add this beautifully thick and creamy Vegan Pastry Cream to your favourite desserts.
