Egg and gluten free custard ideas?
How can I make custard for a friend (as part of a desert) who is egg and gluten intolerant? Should I just not bother?

Most homemade custards are made from milk, sugar and eggs which are naturally gluten-free ingredients. That being said, some big brands of pre-packaged custard could have issues with cross-contamination and/or using gluten ingredients as thickeners.What do eggs do in custard?
Eggs are the main thickener in most custard and the yolks make them smooth and rich. Both egg yolks and whites contain proteins, which change from liquid to solid, called coagulation, when cooked or baked. This means that the liquid egg becomes firmer.Which custard powder is gluten free?

Combining regular milk and cornstarch is also a great way to simulate heavy cream. This alternative is lower in calories and fat than heavy cream is, so it could be a good option if you are looking for a healthier custard. All you have to do is mix two tablespoons of cornstarch into one cup of milk.Gluten Free Egg Custard Recipe | Gluten Free Desserts | AldermanFarms

Answer 2
Pudding. Possibly agar-agar based.
Answer 3
Banoffee Pie style butterscotch pudding (Vegan Pie in the Sky is my reference for this) would make an excellent base as it mimics the caramel taste and mouth feel, it thickens with agar; perhaps add in the slightest pinch of black salt for a hint of sulphur (not enough to taste, more for the scent mimicing the egg). I think that you would also do well with pectin or gelatin, but a little corn starch might be called for to get some creaminess out of the thickening.
