Steps:

Add strawberries and raspberries and bring just to boil, stirring constantly until berries release their juices, about 5 minutes. Stir in blueberries. Remove from heat. Let stand until lukewarm, about 30 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Strain berry mixture, reserving berries and juices separately.
  • Arrange 15 ladyfingers, side by side and standing upright, around inside of 5- to 6-cup soufflé dish (about 7 inches in diameter and 3 inches high). Arrange 6 ladyfingers in bottom of dish, trimming to fit. Spoon half of berries into lined dish. Top with 6 ladyfingers, trimming to fit. Spoon remaining berries over. Top with 8 ladyfingers, trimming to fit. Cover with plastic wrap; place small plate atop pudding to weigh down. Chill pudding and juices separately overnight.
  • Peel back plastic wrap. Invert pudding onto plate. Spoon some of reserved juices over. Cut into wedges and serve with Low-fat Vanilla Custard Sauce.

Tips:

  • For a richer custard, use full-fat milk and cream. You can also add a tablespoon of butter or margarine for extra richness.
  • If you don't have a vanilla bean, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract instead.
  • To make sure the custard is cooked through, stir it constantly and do not let it boil. The custard is done when it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
  • If you are making the custard ahead of time, let it cool completely and then store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To serve the custard, you can either spoon it into individual ramekins or pour it over a fruit salad or cake.

Conclusion:

Low-fat vanilla custard sauce is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to use up leftover milk and cream, and it is also a good source of calcium and protein. Whether you are serving it as a dessert, a snack, or a breakfast topping, low-fat vanilla custard sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
