It's simple, quick, and yummy! Here's what you need to do:

• First, add a bit of milk to the cornstarch/corn flour and blend well. Once mixed, add the remaining milk.
• To this homogenous mixture, add the lightly beaten egg and cream. Whisk well.
• Once blended well, pour this mixture into a saucepan and constantly stir over low heat until the custard thickens. DO NOTBOIL this mixture since the custard might start to curdle.
• Add, while stirring, the ground almonds/almond meal, sugar, and vanilla essence.
• Once desired consistency is obtained, take off the heat and leave to cool.
• Serve warm or chilled as desired.

TIP: Instead of using a saucepan, you can also use a microwave to warm the mixture. Use medium-low heat and stir at 1-minute intervals until the custard thickens
