Pineapple slice

Here's my latest creation - a yummiful pineapple slice!! :) Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.



Pineapple slice

• 4 T custard powder
• 1 T corn flour
• 2 T Xylitol*
• 2 Cups Soy milk
• 2-3 t imitation vanilla essence (or to taste)
• ½ T maple syrup (or to taste)
• Small tin pineapple pieces (drained)
• Packet of scotch finger biscuits

Mix custard powder, corn flour, and xylitol together with enough soy milk to make a paste. Add remaining milk, and bring to the boil. Once boiling, mixture will thicken very quickly. While still thickening, add vanilla and maple syrup. After mixture has fully thickened (and hard to stir), turn off heat, and leave to cool for a few minutes. Set out biscuits in a medium size baking tin. Add pineapple to custard, stir, and pour over biscuits. Spread out evenly, and set in freezer for 30 minutes or until firm enough to slice.

*Xylitol is a sugar substitute, twice as sweet as ordinary sugar. It is derived from corn and other natural fruit and vegetable sources, and has wonderful health properties, including protection against tooth decay. It is generally available at health food or bulk food stores.
