by | Read time: 1 minute

If you can’t stand the heat, get into the kitchen. During the warmer months of the year, sometimes the last thing you want to do is turn on the oven. Though certain baked goods might be off the menu for the time being, your summer can still be ripe with scrumptious treats. To make this vegan custard, you won’t heat cream and eggs in a saucepan—this version is actually made with vegan ingredients and simply chilled before serving. You’ll top it off with berries because they’re a must for all delicious summer desserts.
