STRAWBERRIES IN ENGLISH CREAM (England)

INGREDIENTS:

• Strawberries (1.1 pounds approximately four servings)
• 4 cups semi-skimmed milk
• 4.4 ounces sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 branch of vanilla

1. To make the english cream

We bring milk to boil with the branch of vanilla and then we reduce to a minimum fire. Remove the vanilla branch. We take the four eggs' yolks and beat with the sugar using the whisk. Add yolks to milk slowly – not viceversa – and put again the mix to the casserole keeping the little fire and stirring non-stop for ten minutes. Check that the milk does not boil at any time.
Remove from fire. Let the cream gets the enviromental temperature. Then cool it in the refrigerator.

2. Prepare the strawberries and make the final presentation

Wash the strawberries and cut along in three or four parts each. We put in a large cup as used for ice cream bathing them with the cold english cream. Since the cream and is very pretty liquid we should provide our guests with a spoon. Therefore the pieces of fruit should be small enough to fit into the spoon.
