What can you use as a substitute for custard powder?

Answer 1

arrowroot (This tolerates freezing and prolonged cooking better, and imparts a glossier finish.) OR ClearJel® (especially for pie fillings) OR tapioca starch (dissolves more easily) OR potato starch (This is permitted during Passover.) OR kuzu OR flour OR water chestnut starch (especially in Asian cuisines) OR unsweetened almond powder (imparts a nutty taste, especially good in Chinese sweet-and-sour dishes)

Answer 2

Corn starch + vanilla essence is usually perfect!

Answer 3

Custarc powder is simply cornflour with vanilla flavouring and a yellow colouring. So to substitute, just use the equivalent amount of cornflour and add vanilla essence to your taste.

Answer 4

Tapioca can be used as a thickener instead of cornstarch. However, custard powder also contains other ingredients such as sugar and flavorings.

Answer 5

You can try flour instead of corn starch OR you can make egg custard.
