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:
-
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.
-
Prepare the Custard:
- In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, egg whites, and sugar. Beat the mixture with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
