  • 300g (10.6 oz) milk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 30g (1.1 oz) corn flour
  • 170g (6 oz) sugar
  • 300g (2×150g, 10.6 oz) cream cheese
  • 100g (3.5 oz) white chocolate

  • 8 tbsp liqueur baileys
  • 200g (7.1 oz) crème fraîche, cold
  • 2 tbsp icing sugar
In a bowl add a small amount of milk, cornflour and 2 eggs.
Beat them for a while all together to dissolve the cornflour.
In a nonstick saucepan boil the remaining milk with the sugar. Pour it in the egg mixture.
