How to Make Luscious Berries With Custard Sauce

  1. In a 2-quart saucepan, heat 2 cups heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  2. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch.
  4. Gradually whisk in 4 large egg yolks until the mixture is light and creamy.
  5. Slowly whisk the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
  6. Return the mixture to the saucepan and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
  8. Remove from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm or chilled over 2 cups of your favorite fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.).
