A simple dessert custard. Serve with some fresh fruit or canned. Can be made suitable for a gluten-free diet by ensuring the cornflour/cornstarch used is gluten-free. Ready in less than 10 minutes and can be served warm or cold as desired Ingredients:
2 tablespoons cornstarch (cornflour) |
600 ml milk (1 pint) or 600 ml low-fat milk (1 pint) |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons cream or 2 tablespoons light cream |
100 g ground almonds (3.5 oz, almond meal) |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence |
Directions:
1. Blend the cornstarch with a little of the milk. Add the remaining milk.
2. Add the egg and cream, whisk well.
3. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and stir constantly over a low heat until the custard thicks. DO NOT BOIL as your mixture may curdle.
4. Alternately, instead of the saucepan mixture-you can use the micro-wave. Use medium low heat and stir at 1 minute intervals until the custard thickens.
5. Stir in the ground almonds, vanilla and sugar.
6. Serve warm or cold as desired.
