This custard is incredibly easy to make and thickens up to just the right consistency. You’ll never want to use store bought custard ever again once you see how quick and simple this is to whip up. Use it as a filling for cream puffs, Boston cream pies, or serve plain. Can be frozen.
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup Gefen Cornstarch
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
Melt butter, add cornstarch, sugar and salt.
Gradually add milk.
Heat to a boil.
Blend yolks, gradually add boiled milk.
Return to heat and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Cool and add vanilla.

I made it with almond milk and coconut oil , it came out really good
Just made this to stuff my donuts with and it was delicious! Super easy to make and tasted even better than the store bought custard.
If I use soy milk would it work out just as well?
Yes- nondairy milk would be fine! If it’s sweetened soy milk you may want to add a little less sugar.
