Make a Mock Cream Filling
If you have run out of cream, or don't wish to use cream, this makes a great substitute. It is still rich, though, so watch out for those calories!
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- Essence (extract) of choice to taste
- 2 tablespoon white vinegar (optional)
Steps
- Dissolve the cornflour in about 2 tablespoons of milk.
- Pour the remaining milk into a heavy-based saucepan and place on the heat to boil.
- Thicken the boiled milk with cornflour. Cook for a few more minutes, continuing to stir all the time. Remove and allow to cool.
- Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Gradually add the cornflour mixture. Remove any skin that may have formed on the top of the mixture.
- Beat the entire mixture together well until it begins to take on the texture of whipped cream.
- If using, add white vinegar once all mixed.
- Finished.
