Maple Vanilla Soymilk Custard
March 2010 Recipe Contest Winner Jan Valdez says "I was inspired to create a dessert using soymilk. I know there are a lot of people that can't have dairy due to dietary restrictions, as well as those who just prefer the taste of soymilk over regular milk. So I decided to make a sweet and creamy custard, similar to a flan or creme brulee. The addition of maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon really brings the whole dessert together." We agree.
