What a simple, delectable way to enjoy fresh raspberries. For a change, also try the custard with strawberries or peaches. —Sarah C. Vasques, Milford, New Hampshire

Ingredients

1 cup half-and-half cream
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups fresh berries

Directions

In a small heavy saucepan, mix cream, egg yolks and sugar. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal spoon and a thermometer reads at least 160°. Do not allow to boil.
Transfer to a bowl; stir in vanilla. Refrigerate, covered, until cold. Serve over fresh berries.

Raspberries

If using frozen raspberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.
