Compared to the traditional custard, this egg and dairy free version, is lighter but retains a delightful taste.
For a dessert with a unique flavor, vanilla and white chocolate must be of excellent quality. Perfect served cold in a glass, it is also ideal for filling cakes and Millefeuille.

Sounds very interesting – but could you be a little more specific than “a bar of white chocolate”? White chocolate comes – like people – in many shapes and sizes… :-)
Hi Lise,
thank you for your comment. In Italy, usually, the traditional chocolate tablets are sold in packs of 100 g (3½ oz-½ cup) and I was referring to this. (Of course, as you have rightly pointed out, in the market there are various shapes and sizes).
Many thanks!
