    Ingredients

    For the milk cream:

    • 500 ml milk
    • vanilla extract
    • 50 g cornstarch
    • 80 g sugar
    • 250 g fresh cream

    For the strawberry coulis:

    • 300 g strawberries
    • 70 g sugar
    • juice of 1 lemon

    To compose:

    • Meringue
    • 200 g strawberries

    Instructions

    Milk Custard Directions:

    • First put a saucepan with the milk and vanilla extract on the fire and bring to the boil.
    • In the meantime, mix the cornstarch with the sugar in a bowl.
    • Pour the hot milk flush, stirring vigorously with a whisk or, even better with the electric whisk to prevent lumps from forming.
    • Put the pan back on the heat and, stirring constantly, cook over low heat until the cream has thickened.
    • Pour into a bowl and cover with contact film and let cool.
    • Whip the cold cream from the fridge and add, a little at a time, to the now cooled cream, mixing from bottom to top.
    • Put the cream in a sac-à-poche and put in the fridge until it is used.

    Strawberries Coulis directions:

    • Wash the strawberries and remove the stalk.
    • Cut and blend them until you get a puree. Transfer the puree to a pan.
    • Place the pan on low heat and when the mixture is hot add the sugar and lemon juice.
    • Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
    • Filter everything with a strainer directly to discard any seeds.
    • The coulis is ready. Let it cool down.

    We make up the dessert:

    • Clean and wash the strawberries. Cut them into slices or pieces, leaving 4 for the finish.
    • We have a layer of chopped meringue on the bottom of the trifles. Add the strawberries, milk cream, strawberry coulis and finish with additional cream.
    • Leave to cool and, before serving, decorate with a strawberry and a mint leaf.
    • Your trifles are ready to taste!
