- 2.1 oz rice flour
- 2 cups lactose-free milk (or rice, coconut, or soy milk)
- 1 lemon (only the peel)
Steps for Gluten-Free Custard Cream
I usually prepare custard using cow’s milk and cornstarch or flour, but this time I had to meet the needs of a guest, so here’s a gluten-free and lactose-free cream ready in no time. Let’s see how to prepare it.
Pour the milk into a pot. Add the lemon peel, place the pot on a medium burner, and light the flame. Heat the milk but do not bring it to a boil.
While the milk is on the stove, break the eggs in a bowl, add the sugar, and if you like, you can also add the seeds of half a scraped vanilla bean. Beat well with a fork or electric beaters until you get a lump-free mixture.
Now add the rice flour little by little, and if necessary, take some hot milk from the pot to get a thick but smooth mixture.
Retrieve the lemon peel and pour the milk slowly over the eggs, continuing to mix. Put the pot back on the stove, always on low heat, and keep stirring with a silicone spatula or a wooden spoon. Stir constantly to prevent the cream from sticking to the bottom.
Once the cream begins to thicken, turn off the heat and stir for a few more minutes, then pour the cream into dishes or a larger container, cover with cling film by placing it directly on the cream to prevent a skin from forming.
Once cooled, you can use it to fill cakes or tarts.
