Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • Blend the cornstarch with a little of the milk. Add the remaining milk.
  • Add the egg and cream, whisk well.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Stir in the ground almonds, vanilla and sugar.
  • Serve warm or cold as desired.
