The custard toast trend has been everywhere, and I wanted to make my own version that doesn’t have eggs or dairy. I worked on many attempts, but I finally got a delicious version that I hope you’ll love as much as I do!
What you will need
- 2 slices of bread: I used sourdough. Soft bread also works really well for this recipe because you can easily squish it down and create a well to put the custard in.
- 1/3 cup your favorite dairy-free yogurt: I used unsweetened coconut milk yogurt.
- 2 tbsp arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
- 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup: add more or less, depending on how sweetened your yogurt is. Mine was unsweetened so I added this much. If you are using an already sweetened yogurt, you might not need to add any sweetener.
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- optional: lemon zest
- topping: fruit of choice. I used raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries.
How to make the vegan custard toast
Whisk the yogurt, arrowroot, maple, zest, and vanilla in a bowl and combine them well.
Using your fingers or a spoon, create a well in your bread. Add the custard. Top with berries of choice.
Bake the toast in the oven for 20 minutes at 350F/175C. My bread was a thick slice of sourdough, so if you are using a thinner slice or a softer bread, you might want to bake for a little less- until the edges start to become golden and crispy.
Remove the toast from the oven, allow 5-10 minutes for it to cool off and the custard to set, then drizzle some more maple syrup and enjoy!
