Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
½ cup granulated sugar, divided
5 large pasteurized egg yolks
¼ cup cornstarch
2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 tsp granulated sugar
½ tsp salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, at room temperature

For serving

1 tbsp powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1
Make the pastry cream first so it has time to chill. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and half the sugar (1/4 cup) over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture just begins to steam and small bubbles form around the edges, about 4–5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk the pasteurized egg yolks with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until pale and slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Add the cornstarch and whisk until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
