Ingredients:

• 2 cups strawberries 🍓
• 3/4 cup blueberries
• 3 kiwis 🥝
• 1/4 cup seedless grapes 🍇
• 2 cups skim milk 🥛
• 2 eggs 🥚
• 2 egg whites
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Scald the Milk:

   • In a large saucepan over medium heat, scald the skim milk. Be careful not to allow the milk to boil. Once scalded, set it aside.

2. Prepare the Custard:

   • In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, egg whites, and sugar. Beat the mixture with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended.

3. Incorporate the Hot Milk:

   • Gradually stir about one-fourth of the hot milk into the egg mixture. Then, add this mixture to the remaining hot milk in the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.

4. Thicken the Mixture:

   • Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon. This typically takes around 30 minutes.

5. Cool and Flavor:

   • Once thickened, immediately pour the custard sauce into a large bowl. Stir it with a wire whisk until it cools down. Then, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

6. Chill:

   • Cover the custard sauce and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to set.

7. Serve:

   • When ready to serve, spoon the chilled vanilla custard sauce over a selection of fresh fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, and seedless grapes, for a tantalizing dessert experience.

Enjoy this delightful Fresh Fruit With Vanilla Custard Sauce, a perfect harmony of creamy sweetness and natural fruit flavors!
