Table of Contents

Ingredients:

1 glass (about 250 ml) of milk

2 tablespoons of cornstarch

1/4 cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup (50 grams) of sugar (optional)

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Thicken the Milk:

In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk and cornstarch until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

2. Blend with Olive Oil:

Pour the thickened milk mixture into a blender.

While blending on low speed, slowly add the extra virgin olive oil until fully incorporated. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.

3. Sweeten and Flavor (Optional):

– Add sugar and vanilla extract to the blender, and blend for another 30 seconds until well mixed.

4. Chill (Optional but Recommended):

For best results, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for a few minutes to help it firm up.

5. Whip the Cream:

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the mixture on high speed for 2-3 minutes until it reaches a whipped cream consistency.

6. Serve:

– Your Mediterranean-friendly whipped cream is ready to serve. Use it immediately as a topping for desserts or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

This recipe leverages cornstarch to thicken the milk quickly and incorporates extra virgin olive oil to add the necessary fat content for a creamy texture.
