How to Make Custard Berry Parfaits
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk until completely smooth.
- Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low and continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks.
- Temper the egg yolks by slowly whisking a small amount (about 1/4 cup) of the hot custard into the eggs. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining custard.
- Cook and stir constantly over low heat for 2 minutes, or until the custard is slightly thickened. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the custard into a bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely chilled.
- Just before serving, layer 1/4 cup of your favorite fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.) in each parfait glass.
- Top with 2 tablespoons of the chilled custard.
- Repeat layers of berries and custard until the glass is full.
