This delicious recipe for Thai custard is the dairy-free version of old-fashioned egg custard made with healthy fats and a nourishing whole sweetener.

Using coconut milk instead of dairy milk to make custard imparts a slightly coconut-y flavor.

This gives Thai custard a hint of Asian flare.

I prefer to use homemade coconut milk, but buying is an option too.

This article details how to buy the healthiest coconut milk if you are wondering how to spot the best brands.

I have really been enjoying a small bowl of this in the evening lately. It is so full of healthy fats and very satisfying.

Serving Suggestion

Thai custard is the perfect ending after a dinner of Steak Panang Curry!

The two dishes very much complement each other and work well if your family ever enjoys Asian or Thai night together. It’s so much better than MSG loaded takeout food.

    (Sarah) I was just sitting here trying to figure out what to fix for breakfast since I forgot to soak the oatmeal last night. I have a two year old who is allergic to milk so this is perfect. If I served plain eggs again, I think there might be a mutiny!! Off to make breakfast…

    How did you find out Native Forest is using BPA-free cans? How can I find out about other canned products I’m using?

    My sister gave me two suggestions of variations for this recipe:

    1- take the whole mixture and put it in a pan or double broiler, and cook on medium heat while whisking until pudding forms. This is quicker than the oven method, but the texture does not come out the same. Still, it’s nice to have some options.
    2- put the mixture into a pie pan filled with nut crust – she uses pecan. She also did this with mini pie pans for her co-workers!

    I love this recipe, thank you for sharing it, Sarah. I’m on the GAPS diet, recovering from my sugar addiction (among other things), and I NEEDED this sweet thing to get me through the first three months. I even told myself that I couldn’t make it more than once a week, or else that would be all that I eat!; so Wednesday was Custard Day!

    Hi, I tried this recipe and it was delicious, but very runny on the underside. I left it in for 10 more minutes, and it got a nice browning on top, but was still not set underneath. Any suggestions? Thanks!
