Custard is a traditional dessert In our country. A cream popularly made with milk, egg yolks, sugar and aromas such as vanilla or lemon. Today, in Recetas de Cocina, we prepare a version without eggs and in which we also substitute milk for an almond drink. Do you dare to try these cocoa custard without eggs?
It won't take long to prepare them. Although we could do it in the microwave, this time we have preferred to cook them on the fire in a traditional way. All you will need for this is a casserole and some manual rodsIn addition to the ingredients, of course!
If you don't like cocoa custard, you can do without it and you will have an egg-free custard similar to the traditional ones. As you will see, I have added a small amount of cocoa, since I wanted these to have a mild flavor, but you could add a pinch more if you want. Try them!
The recipe
- 500ml. of almond drink
- 200ml. whipping cream
- 25g. corn flour, cornstarch
- 70g. of sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 teaspoons of cocoa
- Put the almond drink in a saucepan, reserving a glass to dissolve the Cornstarch.
- Add the cream to the saucepan, sugar and cinnamon stick and heat until it starts to boil.
- Then we lower the heat slightly and let the milk aromatize couple of minutes.
- Then we take out the cinnamon stick and let's pour the glass of almond drink with cornstarch and cocoa.
- Cook over medium/high heat constantly stirring with a few rods until the mixture thickens, between 4 and 6 minutes. When the custard has thickened, turn off the heat.
- We distribute the mixture in different glasses or bowls and let them cool down to room temperature before taking them to the fridge for at least an hour.
- We enjoyed the cold eggless cocoa custard.
