Line the sides of the mold with the ladyfingers in a vertical position. 7. Beat the egg, egg yolks, and the brown sugar in a stand mixer until the sugar dissolves. Add the vanilla. 8. Bring the milk to a boil and then, with the mixer running on medium, pour the hot milk into the egg/sugar mixture in a thin, steady stream to make a thin custard. 9. ladle 1/3 C. of custard into the Charlotte pan. Sprinkle with fruit and dot with jam. place 3 or 4 ladyfingers on top and pour 1/3 C. more custard. Top with fruit and jam. Continue until you reach near the top of the pan - ending with ladyfingers.
