  Alice's comment - PersonalCooker

  The custard that I have proposed to you has nothing to envy to the traditional one based on eggs. It is perfect for filling cakes and cream puffs or, if you can't resist, eat it as a delicious spoon dessert. You can adjust the dose according to your tastes, increasing or reducing the dose of starch, you will get a more or less thick cream. Try to enrich it with a pinch of cinnamon and you will give an extra touch that will surprise you.
