Custard was a must have and one of my absolutely favourites while growing up! Just thinking about creamy dreamy vanilla and chocolate custard makes my stomach growl! So when I found out that I can make a much healthier and vegan version of the traditional custard, I had to try it! And, to my surprise, it’s extremely easy to make and super delicious. Hence I developed these cute little two-layered custard cakes and topped them with delicious coconut whipped cream (can’t go wrong with that, right?). If you like custard, you’ll love these! 🙂

- Crust:
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 cup oat flour
- 2 flax eggs (2 Tbsp ground flax seeds + 6 Tbsp water)
- 2 Tbsp cashew butter, melted
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
Vanilla Custard:- ¾ cup soy milk
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 Tbsp tapioca flour
- ½ tsp agar agar
- Dash of turmeric powder
Chocolate Custard:- ¾ cup soy milk
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp cacao powder
- 1.5 Tbsp tapioca flour
- ½ tsp agar agar
Coconut whipped cream:- ½ cup coconut cream (the firm part)
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
- To prepare the crust, place all the ingredients into a bowl and mix together with your hands until you get a sticky dough.
- Grease or line your muffin tins/moulds and divide the dough into equal parts. Press each ball of dough into the muffin mould with your fingers and make sure to also press the dough up on the sides.
- Place in the oven for 5-10 minutes (depending on how crunchy you want the crust).
- In the meantime, prepare the custard layer. For the chocolate custard, first place the soy milk, maple syrup and cacao in a sauce pan on medium heat. Combine with a spatula until all the cacao has dissolved. Add the tapioca flour and agar agar and bring to a boil, while stirring. Continue stirring and boil for 10 seconds, until it gets custardy.
- Take it off the heat and pour into the crusts until half full. Repeat the same step with the vanilla custard.
- Place the cakes into the fridge and let them cool down. In the meantime, prepare the coconut whipped cream, by simply mixing all ingredients together in a chilled bowl.
- Place into a pipping bag and apply on top of the cakes. Sprinkle with cacao powder and fresh berries and serve!

They look delicious. how do you make flax eggs or do you buy it? Jacquie
Thanks! 1 flax egg is simply 1 Tbsp ground flax seeds combined with 3 Tbsp warm water. Mix together, set aside for 5 minutes and voila 🙂 I’ll ad the explanation to the recipe!
