- Preparation: 75 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (240 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian

Ingredients
- 150 g Milk, whole
- 20 g Sugar
- 20 g Cornstarch

Method
- Whisk the cornstarch into a little of the milk until smooth, then heat the rest of the milk with the sugar until warm.
- Stir the cornstarch mixture into the warm milk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 5-6 minutes until it thickens into a very thick, pudding-like paste that pulls away from the pan.
- Spread the hot paste into a lightly oiled dish in an even layer, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm and cool.
