Preparation
- Beat the yolks with the sugar and salt in the top of a double boiler, add the milk and cook over simmering water, stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened and smooth. Cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on top. Refrigerate.
- Whip the cream, adding the sugar and vanilla near the end of the process.
- Combine the custard mixture and the whipped cream, folding them together until blended.
- Serve over the berries, or fold the berries into the cream mixture in the manner of a Fool. Alternatively, serve berries and cream separately for hand-dipping at the table.
