Gluten Free White Peach Vanilla Custard Cups

Silky, cool, and perfumed with real vanilla bean, these custard cups are the kind of dessert that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. The base is nothing but whole milk, egg yolks, sugar, salt, and a split vanilla pod — no flour, no starch, no thickeners — so it's naturally free of gluten without any substitutions or workarounds. That simplicity is exactly what makes the texture so luxurious: slow-baked in a water bath until just set, the custard comes out trembling and smooth all the way through. Topping each cup with sugared white peach slices right before serving adds a juicy, floral contrast that cuts through the richness beautifully. White peaches are softer and more fragrant than yellow, and that brief five-minute maceration with sugar coaxes out just enough syrupy juice to pool around the edges. This is the kind of elegant, fuss-free dessert that works equally well for a dinner party or a quiet night when you just want something genuinely special.
