Prep 24 min Cook 5 min Serves 5 Easy

Ingredients

  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salta pinch
  • Milk2 cups
  • Sugar1/3 cup
  • Vanilla Extract1 cup, chopped
  • Strawberries2 cups, hulled and sliced
  • Gelatin2 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out all ingredients and the serving dishes first; the cooking itself moves quickly.

  2. 2

    Warm the milk with the gelatin gently until steaming, not boiling, so the base stays smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine the heavy cream with the sugar; stream in the hot milk slowly so nothing curdles.

  4. 4

    Return to gentle heat and stir without stopping until it thickens enough to cloak the spoon.

  5. 5

    Divide between glasses, press clingfilm onto the surface, chill until set, then crown with vanilla extract.

Chef's tip

Resting a custard or pudding overnight deepens the flavour and sets a cleaner slice.
