Custard Berry Parfaits Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the 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. Remove from the heat.
• Stir a small amount of hot filling 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.
• Gently stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature without stirring. Transfer to a bowl; press plastic wrap onto surface of custard. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Just before serving, spoon 1/4 cup of berries into each parfait glass; top with 2 tablespoons of custard. Repeat layers.

Steps:

• Cover the bottoms of two small glasses with a layer of yogurt. Cover layer with berries. Repeat until both glasses are full, ending with a fruit layer. Sprinkle with graham crackers and nutmeg.

Steps:

• In a large, heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 3 tablespoons sugar and marsala wine. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and whisk continuously until hot and thick, about 8 minutes (do not boil the custard).
• Remove from the heat and immediately set the bowl into a larger bowl of ice water; whisk the custard for 2 minutes, then refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
• In a chilled bowl, whisk 1 cup heavy cream with 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar until stiff. Using a whisk, fold half of the cooled custard into the whipped cream, then fold in the rest. Layer in parfait cups with fresh berries.
