As if you need a reason to assemble a parfait, this indulgent custard concoction is an attractive way to sweeten the meal. âSusan Jordan, Roseburg, Oregon Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2-3/4 cups 2% milk |
4 egg yolks, beaten |
2 teaspoons unsalted butter |
1 teaspoon amaretto |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries |
1 cup fresh raspberries |
4 whole fresh strawberries |
Directions:
1. In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.
2. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, Amaretto and vanilla. Cool to room temperature.
3. Transfer custard to a small bowl; press waxed paper onto surface of custard. Refrigerate until chilled.
4. Just before serving, spoon 1/4 cup strawberries into each of four parfait glasses. Layer each with 1/3 cup custard, 1/4 cup raspberries and 1/3 cup custard. Top each with a whole strawberry. Yield: 4 servings.
