Why this is my Go-To Recovery Recipe
Throughout my journey with NMOSD and healing from chronic eczema, I learned how vital it is to have recipes that are not only anti-inflammatory but also very gentle on the digestive system.
The texture of this custard is, as the name suggests, pure silk. Unlike many healthy puddings, this recipe contains no nuts, seeds, or eggs, making it 100% compliant with the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). It gives you that creamy satisfaction without triggering your immune system.

Who is this recipe for?
Whether you are managing NMOSD, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto’s, or simply dealing with skin and gut issues: your food is the fuel for your recovery. This recipe is specifically designed for anyone who:
- Follows an anti-inflammatory diet.
- Needs “free-from” recipes (gluten-free, dairy-free, nightshade-free).
- Suffers from bloating or sensitive digestion.
Ingredients (100% AIP-proof)
Servings: 1 person
- 2 Ripe pears: Peeled and diced. Pears are naturally hypoallergenic and gentle.
- 125 ml Full-fat coconut milk: Ensure it has no additives like guar gum for the best digestion.
- 1 Heaping tablespoon Tapioca starch: This creates the magical, custard-like thickness without grains.
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla powder: Pure, unsweetened.
- A pinch of Sea salt: To enhance the natural sweetness of the pear.
- Optional: A drizzle of maple syrup (AIP-proof) for those who prefer it a bit sweeter.

Instructions: Ready in 10 Minutes
- Boil the Pears: Place the diced pears in a small saucepan with a tiny splash of water. Simmer on low heat until they are soft and translucent.
- Blend: Pour the coconut milk into a blender along with the cooked pears, vanilla, salt, and maple syrup (if using). Blend until completely smooth.
- The Binding: Add the tapioca starch to the blender and pulse briefly to combine.
- Thicken: Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Heat over low-medium heat while stirring constantly with a whisk. Within a minute, you will see it transform into a thick, luxurious custard.
- Serve: Pour into a beautiful glass. You can eat it warm (amazing on a cold morning!) or let it set in the fridge for a firmer pudding texture.
