Cinnamon Free White Peach Vanilla Custard Cups

Silky, cool, and crowned with juicy white peach slices, these custard cups are the kind of dessert that feels quietly luxurious without demanding much from the cook. The custard base is built on whole milk, egg yolks, and a real vanilla bean — that split-and-scraped pod steeping in warm milk is where all the deep, floral flavor comes from. A gentle water bath in the oven keeps the texture impossibly smooth, and the slow bake followed by a proper chill in the fridge means you get that perfect slow wobble when you nudge the ramekin. For anyone navigating a sensitivity to cinnamon, desserts can be a minefield — spice blends, pre-made pastry creams, and even some store-bought fruit toppings sneak it in without warning. Here, every single ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, so there are no hidden surprises to worry about. The white peach topping is simply fruit and a little sugar, macerated just long enough to turn glossy and syrupy before it goes over the cold custard. It's an elegant finish that lets the vanilla and the natural sweetness of the peaches do all the talking.
