List of Ingredients

• 1/3 cup fat-free milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon chopped crystallized ginger
• 1 beaten egg
• 1/3 cup fat-free milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Recipe

In a blender container combine 1/3 cup milk, the sugar, and crystallized ginger. Cover and blend until mixture is smooth.

For custard sauce, in a heavy small saucepan combine the egg and 1/3 cup milk. Add blended mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat about 10 minutes or until mixture just coats a metal spoon. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in vanilla.

Quickly cool custard sauce by placing the saucepan in a sink of ice water for 1 to 2 minutes stirring constantly. Pour custard sauce into a bowl. Cover the surface with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

Place strawberries in 6 dessert dishes. Spoon custard sauce over berries. Sprinkle with almonds.

Makes 6 servings.


Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare custard sauce; cool quickly. Cover surface and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
