   Mix the sugar, skim milk, and cornstarch in a saucepan (use a non-stick pan, if possible).

2. 2

   Add the soy milk and mix some more.

   Heat the pan and mix continuously with a wooden spatula.

   The cream will gradually become thick and bubbly.

6. 6

   Turn the heat off when it has slightly reduced in volume, then transfer into a container immediately.

7. 7

   Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap to prevent the cream from drying out, and let cool.

8. 8

   When cooled, add the vanilla extract and mix.

   The cream is melty when it's freshly cooked, and it becomes jiggly when it has cooled.

    Stir the cooled cream with a small whisk to smooth it when topping some bread or filling cream puffs.

    Don't stir up the cream too much when using it as a bread filling, for it will become difficult to handle.

    Rather, chill in the fridge to harden first.
