BOTANIKA BLENDS RECIPES

Ingredients

Custard Filling
✨ 2 cups (480 ml) creamy plant milk (oat, soy, almond – go with your gut)
✨ ½ cup (about 60 g) Botanika Blends Vegan Protein Custard Powder – Vanilla-Cinnamon, of course
✨ 2–3 tbsp caster sugar (or granulated – you do you)
✨ 1 tbsp corn starch (only if you’re after an extra-thicc custard)
✨ Pinch of salt
✨ 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but boujee)

Cookie Base
🍪 200 g vegan butter or high-fat plant spread, softened
🍪 ⅔ cup (135 g) granulated sugar
🍪 ⅓ cup (60 g) light brown sugar
🍪 1 flax “egg” (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, let it get gooey for 5 mins)
🍪 1 tsp vanilla extract
🍪 2 cups (250 g) plain flour
🍪 2 tbsp corn starch
🍪 ½ tsp baking powder
🍪 ¼ tsp baking soda
🍪 Pinch of salt

Let’s Bake, BBs:

1. Scoop & Shape
After chilling your dough (a must for max cookie vibes), roll into 1 tbsp-sized balls.
Pop 'em on lined trays and gently press your thumb (or the back of a teaspoon) into each to make a cute little well.

2. Bake
Bake at 175 °C for 10-12 mins – until those edges look lightly golden and irresistible.
Cool on the tray for 5, then move to a rack. (Patience, grasshopper.)

3. Fill the Magic
Once they’re completely cool, add a dollop of chilled custard into each centre. Spoon or pipe – your choice, chef.

 

Optional Fancy Finishes ✨

  • Crown with a blueberry or tiny jam swirl

  • Drizzle with melted dark choc for ✨drama✨

 

Need it stored? The fridge is your friend. Best enjoyed within 2–3 days... good luck making them last that long 😏

FAQ - Vegan Custard Drop Cookies

  • Spoon it over pancakes, swirl it into porridge, eat it straight from the jar… no judgment here. The Wizard says: “Waste not, lick the spoon.”

  • Yes BB, but go creamy or go home. Oat, soy, or almond work best – watery milks won’t give you that luscious custard texture.

  • Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes, unless you want sad, flat cookies. Chilling helps the dough hold its shape and gives you that dreamy soft centre with lightly golden edges.

  • No stress! Add an extra ½ to 1 tbsp of corn starch while cooking and whisk until it thickens up. And remember to cool it fully before filling the cookies – warm custard = cookie chaos.
