Infusing Saffron Elegance: Begin by soaking saffron strands in 2-3 tablespoons of hot water for 5 minutes, allowing them to release their essence.

Corn Flour Whisking Magic: In a saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and ⅓ cup of soy milk until a smooth and lump-free consistency is achieved.

Harmony of Flavors: Add the remaining soy milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and stir the mixture thoroughly. Introduce the soaked saffron along with water and bring the concoction to a gentle boil over medium-low heat, stirring regularly.

Taste Testing and Thickening: Perform a taste test and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Continue stirring and allow the mixture to boil until it begins to thicken. Exercise caution to prevent over-thickening.

Culmination of Creaminess: Once the custard reaches a delightful thickness, remove the saucepan from the heat. The residual heat will continue the thickening process, ensuring a perfect consistency upon cooling.

Presentation and Enjoyment: Revel in the immediate gratification of enjoying the Vegan Vanilla Custard either on its own or as a versatile component in various desserts. Its velvety texture and nuanced flavors make it a delightful addition to your culinary repertoire.
