Red Meat Allergy Friendly White Peach Vanilla Custard Cups

Silky, fragrant, and topped with jewel-like slices of sugared white peach, this dessert is the kind of thing that looks like it came from a patisserie but comes together with a handful of pantry staples. A real vanilla bean steeped in warm whole milk gives the custard a floral depth that extract simply cannot match, and the slow bake in a water bath ensures every cup sets with that signature slow, glassy wobble. For anyone navigating a red meat allergy, desserts can sometimes hide unexpected animal-derived surprises, but this one is refreshingly straightforward — milk, egg yolks, sugar, salt, and fresh fruit, nothing more. The white peaches are tossed with just a spoonful of sugar right before serving, which coaxes out their delicate juice and turns them into a bright, barely-sweet contrast to the rich custard beneath. Chilling the cups until fully set means you can prep them well ahead of a dinner party and simply add the peach topping at the last moment. It's an elegant, fuss-free finish to any meal that happens to be completely free of red meat in every single component.
