Recipe tip

  • This recipe can be used as an alternative to yoghurt for children who are allergic to cow’s milk yoghurt and soy yoghurt.
  • Serve with stewed or fresh fruit.
  • Soy milk can be used as an alternative to rice milk for children who are not allergic to soy.
  • Rice flour can be used instead of cornflour if required.
  • Use pure vanilla essence as imitation vanilla essence usually contains food additives.
  • The thickness of the custard can be adjusted by using varying amounts of corn or rice flour.
