I am a dairy eating person with no allergies but from time to time lately I have been trying these different recipes, especially if I have the ingredients at hand. This was simple to make and quite tasty with a nice texture - not as tasty as my usual custard but for people who can't eat dairy I would imagine it would be very acceptable. I won't rate it as I feel this is best left up to those who eat this type of food regularly.

Thanks JD. What did DH think of it?
I haven't tried it yet either....

He didn't want any ILB - very rare that I can get a dessert into him. He just can't believe the things I am making these days :-)) :-))

LOL! At least you're enjoying experimenting JD :-* ;)

Thx JD -0 have to try it. We used to have polenta for breakfast years ago - my father used it instead of porridge - not sure why, but I like it so will give it a go.

Last night I felt like some dessert so scoured through the EDC and Vegetarian books and found this one. I didn't have orange zest so used lemon instead. I used 65g of polenta as I wanted it fairly thick. I wasn't sure how much honey to use so I think it was about 35g, but it wasn't sweet enough when it was done so next time I would use more. The lemon flavour was really good, and the end result was a beautiful yellow custard colour. Tastewise it was a little pasty, but it certainly satisfied the dessert craving! I would rate it maybe 3/5 and will definitely make it again - I think over some stewed fruit or crumble it would be better so it wouldn't be the dominant flavour. DH had some but wasn't overly impressed. The third bowl that I poured had set pretty firmly by the time I put it in the fridge, so I am looking forward to having that tonight :-)
