Ingredients

Scale

2 cups of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 cup whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

4 large egg yolks

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

A pinch of salt

Instructions

Prep Your Berries: Rinse your mixed berries under cool water. Gently pat them dry. If you're using strawberries, slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Make the Custard Base: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Stir occasionally until it’s warm but not boiling.

Whisk It Up: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth and creamy.

Combine the Mixtures: Once the milk mixture is warm, slowly pour it into the egg mixture while whisking constantly.

Thicken the Custard: Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and return it to the heat. Stir continuously until it thickens.

Chill & Serve: Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour. Serve custard into a bowl, top with fresh berries.
