Fresh Berries

1 cup Strawberries

1 cup Blueberries

1 cup Raspberries

Pastry Cream

2 cups Milk

1 cup sugar

4 pieces Egg yolks

1 tbs Cornstarch

1 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

2 tbs Butter

Graham Tart

1 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup Butter, melted

Garnish

0 to taste Lemon balm leaves

Method

Prepare the Graham Tart

Make the Crust

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.

Make the Pastry Cream

Cook the Cream

In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and butter. Allow to cool, then refrigerate.

Assemble the Dessert

Combine and Serve

Once the pastry cream is chilled and the tart crust is cooled, fill the tart with the pastry cream. Top with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Garnish with lemon balm leaves. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
