Berries
Custard
Whipping Cream
Method
Prepare the Custard
Make the Custard
In a saucepan, combine milk and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and cornstarch together. Gradually add the hot milk mixture to the eggs, whisking continuously. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the custard thickens. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Allow to cool.
Prepare the Whipping Cream
Whip the Cream
In a mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to whip until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Assemble the Dish
Layer the Ingredients
In serving bowls, layer the mixed berries, followed by a generous scoop of custard, and top with whipped cream. Serve immediately.
