Actually, while I can't vouch for the richness (subjective as it is), 
it's perfectly possible to make custard with almost any liquid (for 
example, there are Chinese savory custards made with stock and eggs 
or yolks). Soy milk would work, as would almond or coconut milk 
(coconut milk is great as the main liquid or in combination with milk 
or cream in a coconut custard pie). The real essential, the without 
whom none, is an egg product...
