Mom Tips

So-called vegetable milks, such as coconut milk, soy milk, rice milk and others, do not contain lactose.

You can find full-fat coconut milk in good brands in good supermarkets.

Cornstarch = cornstarch

Vanilla bean shavings can be replaced with vanilla paste.

Follow the preparation procedure; This allows the starch to cook slowly and lose its starchy taste.

The plastic wrap will prevent the cream from forming a film.
