Time 20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 cups assorted fresh berries

Steps:

  • Beat eggs in a small bowl, set aside. In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Stir a small amount into eggs; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 1/2 minutes or until mixture reaches 160 degrees.

  • Serve over berries -- strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (whatever mix of berries you prefer).
  • Yield: About 2 cups of sauce. Recipe did not state how much berries to use, so I but an estimated amount in the recipe.
  • 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.

Conclusion:

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.
