Let’s make it

  1. Combine

    Mix the cornflour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Gradually whisk this into the oat milk in a saucepan until smooth.

  2. Thicken

    Stir continuously over medium heat for about 5–8 minutes, until the custard reaches your preferred thickness. It will thicken further as it cools.

  3. Finish and serve

    Pour into a heatproof jug or dish. Stir in the vanilla and optional turmeric, then serve warm or chilled.

Let it cool a little

The custard thickens as it cools. The turmeric is optional and adds colour.
