Cashew Free White Peach Vanilla Custard Cups

There is something quietly luxurious about a silky, spoonable custard topped with fresh fruit, and this version delivers that feeling without any fuss. The base is built from whole milk, egg yolks, sugar, and a real vanilla bean — nothing more — so the flavor is clean, floral, and deeply satisfying. Steeping the vanilla pod in warm milk before combining it with the yolks is the kind of small step that makes a noticeable difference in the final result. The water bath in the oven keeps the heat gentle and even, which is exactly what gives the custard that slow, uniform wobble and a texture that's smooth all the way through. White peaches tossed briefly with sugar go on top just before serving, softening slightly and releasing a little juice that pools beautifully over the chilled custard. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, this dessert is a genuinely elegant option — every ingredient is straightforward, with no blended nut creams or hidden additions to second-guess. It's the kind of recipe that looks impressive on the table but asks very little of you in the kitchen.
