Gluten-Free Cinnamon Ginger Custard:
In all honesty, it will soon become an Autumn favorite. Drizzled on top of other breakfast foods, desserts, or even by itself.
What comes to mind when you think about Autumn? For me, they are Cinnamon, Ginger, Clove, Mace, Allspice, Nutmeg, and Cardamom. These are the spices that came to mind when I was thinking about creating a filling recipe. Hence, this custard contains the spices that are in Pumpkin Pies.
Most importantly, don’t allow this custard to boil. Boiling can cause lumps. But don’t worry, just put it through a strainer. Indeed this sauce has so many applications. Thin it for a sauce, or use it for a filling, or use it to drizzle on top of baked goods. Indeed, it is a good recipe to have in your repertoire. To thin simply add a little water at a time until desired consistency.
