I found this little ditty in the South Beach Diet – Gluten Solution Cookbook. I made a couple modifications, like using the Suox Vid machine instead of a roasting pan.
I thought it was grand. Hubby thought is was not sweet enough and kind of slimy – i informed him it was what custard was!
We attempted to brulee it, but it didn’t work well. I’ll keep working the recipe to see the best path forward
