Blueberry Custard Parfait Recipe

Prep: 15 min. + chilling Cook: 20 min. + cooling

Yield: 4 Servings

15 20 35

Ingredients

2 eggs, lightly beaten
1-1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
2 cups fresh blueberries

Directions

In a saucepan, combine eggs, milk, sugar and salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until custard is slightly thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 18 minutes.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla, peels and nutmeg. Cool for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, beat the cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff. Fold two-thirds into the custard. Layer custard and blueberries in parfait glasses. Garnish with remaining cream. Chill for 1 hour. Yield: 4 servings.
