Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/2 cup | Flour |
| 2 cups | Soy milk |
| 1/3 cup | Sugar |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| 1/4 cup | Lemon juice |
| 2 tsp | Lemon zest |
| 1/2 tsp | Vanilla extract |
Instructions:
-
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of flour with 1/2 cup of soy milk until smooth and well combined. Set aside for later use.
-
-
In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups of soy milk, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 1 tsp of salt. Whisk everything together until the sugar dissolves completely.
-
Add the flour mixture from step 1 into the saucepan with the liquid ingredients. Whisk vigorously to ensure a smooth consistency.
-
Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk constantly. Cook the mixture for 5-6 minutes until it thickens to a custard-like consistency.
-
Once thickened, add in 1/4 cup of lemon juice, 2 tsp of lemon zest, and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously to incorporate all the flavors.
-
Let the mixture cook for an additional 1 minute while continuing to whisk. This will ensure the flavors meld together beautifully.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the creamy mixture to a clean glass bowl. This will allow it to cool down.
-
To prevent a skin from forming on the top, cover the surface of the pastry cream with a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
-
Refrigerate the pastry cream for several hours, or until it has completely cooled and set.
