Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoon sweet rice flour*
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups milk (I use 2%)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 cup whipping cream

Instructions

  • Combine sugar, cornstarch, sweet rice flour and salt in a medium saucepan.
  • Stir in milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat whisking as it begins to thicken.
  • Reduce heat and stir until thick, 1-2 minutes, whisking to prevent the bottom from burning.
  • Cool slightly. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.

BEFORE SERVING

  • In a stand mixer add vanilla and beat mixture until smooth,
  • In another bowl beat whipping cream to stiff peaks. Fold into mixture and refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be served immediately.
  • Spoon over seasonal fresh fruit or use to fill a tart crust.

Notes

*Sweet rice flour can be replaced with cornstarch making a softer dessert, best served in a dish.
