Hazelnut Free White Peach Vanilla Custard Cups

Silky, cool, and crowned with juicy white peach slices, these custard cups are the kind of dessert that looks like it came from a fancy bistro but comes together with a handful of pantry staples. A real vanilla bean steeped in warm whole milk gives the base a floral, aromatic depth that extract simply can't match. The water bath method keeps the heat gentle and even, coaxing the egg yolks and milk into that signature slow-wobble set — creamy all the way through without a single rubbery edge. White peaches are naturally sweeter and more delicate than yellow, and a quick toss with sugar draws out their juices so every spoonful gets a little pool of fresh fruit syrup. Tree nut allergies can make rich desserts tricky since hazelnuts sneak into everything from chocolate spreads to pastry creams, but this recipe keeps things beautifully clean — just dairy, eggs, sugar, salt, and fresh fruit. Nothing here needs a label check or a substitution; it's straightforwardly safe and straightforwardly delicious.
