How to Make Low Calorie Vanilla And Cinnamon Custard

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk and water.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2-3 tablespoons of cold water into the cornstarch mixture to form a smooth paste. This prevents lumps.
  4. Add the cornstarch paste to the milk mixture in the saucepan, whisking constantly.
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the custard thickens to a creamy consistency (about 5-7 minutes). It should coat the back of a spoon.
  6. If using mint or pandan leaves, add them to the saucepan along with the milk and water. Remove them from the heat before chilling.
  7. Remove from heat and let the custard cool slightly.
  8. Stir in the vanilla extract and artificial sweetener to your desired level of sweetness.
  9. Transfer the custard to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy! Garnish with extra cinnamon if desired.
