Vegan Strawberry Custard Pie | Quick & Easy Summer Dessert Recipe
If you are looking for a fast, simple dessert that perfectly embodies the taste of Summer, look no further! May I present this luscious new recipe- Vegan Strawberry Custard Pie.
This flavorful creation is made with two of my favorite plant-based dessert ingredients- Nature’s Charm coconut custard and coconut whipping cream.
The custard is incredible. The texture is perfect, it’s sweet but not too sweet, and works perfectly to whip up magical vegan treats that taste like you spent hours in the kitchen!
With the addition of a simple slurry made of corn starch and maple syrup, the custard sets up nicely in the oven. I used a whole wheat vegan crust from Whole Foods for this strawberry custard pie. It was so easy, clocking in at just 10 ingredients and less than 15 minutes of active time in the kitchen.

This looks like an amazing recipe. However my having difficulty finding the coconut custard unless I buy all of it from your link online. I looked up recipes to make coconut custard is that primarily the same thing?
