  • In a large pan, whisk the eggs, sugar and cornflour until foamy, then very slowly pour the hot milk and continue whisking. Bring back on the lowest heat and stir continuously until you reach the desired consistency (about 10 minutes). Then reserve, cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours. 

    Whipped cream 
    In a mixing bowl, whisk the double cream with the icing sugar until you have a nice and smooth chantilly consistency.
