Instructions:
1. Infusing Saffron Elegance: Begin by soaking saffron strands in 2-3 tablespoons of hot water for 5 minutes, allowing them to release their essence.
2. Corn Flour Whisking Magic: In a saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and 1/3 cup of soy milk until a smooth and lump-free consistency is achieved.
3. Harmony of Flavors: Add the remaining soy milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and stir the mixture thoroughly. Introduce the soaked saffron along with water and bring the concoction to a gentle boil over medium-low heat, stirring regularly.
4. Taste Testing and Thickening: Perform a taste test and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Continue stirring and allow the mixture to boil until it begins to thicken. Exercise caution to prevent over-thickening.
5. Culmination of Creaminess: Once the custard reaches a delightful thickness, remove the saucepan from the heat. The residual heat will continue the thickening process, ensuring a perfect consistency upon cooling.
6. Presentation and Enjoyment: Revel in the immediate gratification of enjoying the Vegan Vanilla Custard either on its own or as a versatile component in various desserts. Its velvety texture and nuanced flavors make it a delightful addition to your culinary repertoire.
Additional Tips:
Corn Flour Balance: Exercise caution not to overpower the custard with too much cornflour, preserving the true essence of flavors.
Saffron Sensitivity: Use saffron judiciously, ensuring a light color infusion without overshadowing the vanilla essence.
Lump-Free Whisking: To achieve a lump-free custard, gradually incorporate the soy milk while whisking the cornstarch.
Custard Texture Management: Keep a watchful eye during the thickening process to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
Post-Cooking Custard Care: Prevent the formation of a skin on the custard’s surface by placing cling film or a baking sheet directly on the custard.
