- Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 Tbsps sugar
- 1 tsp Corn starch
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 madeira cake
- 11 ozs Strawberries (hulled and halved)
- 11 ozs Blueberries
- 3 ½ ozs Raspberries
- 1.333 cups cream (48% fat)
Preparation steps
1.
Put the egg yolks, sugar, cornflour and vanilla into a medium bowl. Whisk for about 10 minutes until thick and pale.
2.
Place the milk in a small heavy-based pan over a low heat. Gently heat until the milk almost comes to a boil (do not let the milk boil). Remove the milk from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
3.
Gradually whisk the milk into the egg mixture. Pour back into the pan. Cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Transfer to a bowl and cover the surface with cling film (this helps prevent a skin forming). Set aside to cool.
4.
Cut the madeira cake into slices and crumble a layer into the bottom of 4 serving glasses. Add some of the berries and pour over a layer of the custard. Add another layer of berries
5.
Whisk the cream until thick, but not stiff. Spoon a layer of cream on top of the berries.
6.
Add another layer of crumbled cake, a layer of berries and another layer of custard. Top with the rest of the berries (set aside a few blueberries to decorate).
7.
Spoon the rest of the cream on top of the parfaits and decorate with blueberries. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
