- I think it would be really good with angel food cake or shortcake.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh berries. If you're using frozen berries, thaw them before using.
- To make the custard sauce ahead of time, cover it and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it over low heat, stirring constantly.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can make the custard sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Just be sure to stir it constantly so that it doesn't scorch.
- Serve the berries with custard sauce warm or cold. You can also top them with whipped cream or ice cream.

This classic dessert is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The sweet and juicy berries are perfectly complemented by the rich and creamy custard sauce. Whether you serve it warm or cold, this dish is sure to be a hit.
