When the cream is hot pour it in a steady steam into the cold egg mix whisking continuously. Return to the saucepan. Continue whisking while the sauce heats through and thickens. This will only take a minute or two. Grated chocolate or a splash of rum may also be added to the finished custard.

You can get gluten free custard powder. The Edmonds range of baking products are all gluten free.
If you do decide to use this recipe, be careful with which cornflour you buy as some have wheat products added.
