How to Make Deluxe Dressing For Fruit Salads

  1. In a double boiler, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, 2 large egg yolks, and 2 cups milk.
  2. Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of pudding (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of orange juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  4. Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely cool.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pudding mixture until smooth and well combined.
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite assortment of fresh, cut fruits. Enjoy!
