Ingredients

    1.25 cups lite soy milk
    11.5 tsp splenda (or your preferred sweetener)
    4.5 tsp cornflour (aka cornstarch)
    1/4 tsp vanilla essence
    1 tsp brandy

Tips

Don't worry if it looks a bit runny, it will thicken when it cools.


Directions

1. Heat milk in a saucepan until it's quite hot but not boiling.
2. Put the cornflour in a bowl or jug, remove about a quarter cup of milk from the saucepan and whisk it into the cornflour gradually to make a paste. Do it gradually or the custard will be lumpy.
3. Add the paste back into the milk, whisking vigorously to avoid lumps. Add the splenda.
4. Cook, whisking continuously, for about 5 minutes. It can come to a simmer but don't let it boil or burn. Custard should start to thicken.
5. Stir in the vanilla and brandy, remove from heat and stand for a minute or two to thicken.

Great on christmas pudding! You can use other flavourings and/or omit the brandy if desired.
