Carrageenan Free White Peach Vanilla Custard Cups

Silky, spoonable, and crowned with juicy white peach slices, this custard is the kind of dessert that feels like it came from a proper French bistro — yet every ingredient is refreshingly straightforward. Store-bought puddings and custard cups often rely on carrageenan as a thickener or stabilizer, which makes finding a clean option at the grocery store genuinely tricky. This version skips all of that entirely, setting up beautifully through nothing more than egg yolks, whole milk, and a gentle water bath in the oven. A real vanilla bean steeped directly in warm milk gives the custard a floral, aromatic depth that extract simply can't match. The white peach topping is just sliced fruit and a spoonful of sugar, left to macerate for a few minutes until the natural juices turn into a light, glossy syrup. Together, the cool, trembling custard and the sweet, fragrant peaches make for a combination that's quietly stunning. It's an elegant make-ahead dessert that rewards a little patience with every single spoonful.
