Quick and Easy Vanilla Custard
Only one thing trumps ice cream in my heart… And that’s custard. I love it poured over cake or crumble. I love it by itself. I love eating it with a spoon! And I love it especially in this Chocolate Eclair Cake! Serves 6.

Ingredients
- 3 cups raw and/or whole milk
- 4 organic or pastured egg yolks
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/3 cup arrowroot powder
- 1 tablespoon grass-fed butter
- 2 teaspoons sustainably-sourced gelatin (certified glyphosate-free)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
-
Whisk together arrowroot and gelatin in a small bowl.
-
Into a medium saucepan, pour milk, egg yolks, maple syrup, and sea salt.
-
Sprinkle the arrowroot mixture over its surface, and whisk again to combine.
-
Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring CONSTANTLY until the pudding begins to thicken. It will start to steam first, which is your sign that the custard is almost done.
-
Once thickened, remove immediately from the heat.
-
Add butter and vanilla and continue to stir until mixed.
-
Pour into individual serving dishes, and serve or chill.
Recipe Notes
- Arrowroot custard is just plain quick to make! There's nothing like a rich, comforting, and easy dessert. Whether you eat it warm or hot, it will still be thick. Eat it chilled if you want it to set up more.
