Indulgent and simple creamy berry dessert for a delightful finish.
Ingredients:
  • 500g strawberries, hulled, halved
  • 60g (1/3 cup) pure icing sugar
  • 20.00 ml rosewater
  • 750ml (3 cups) full-fat milk
  • 1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scrapped
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 7.50 gm cornflour
  • 150g white chocolate, chopped
  • 150g Amaretti biscuits, crushed
  • 250ml (1 cup) thickened cream, lightly whipped
  • White chocolate, grated, to serve
  • Dried rose petals, to decorate (see Notes) (optional)
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, mix the strawberries with icing sugar and rosewater, then let it rest for 1 hour to develop flavors. Strain the liquid into a saucepan, keeping the strawberries aside. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Let it cool and drizzle over the strawberries.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the milk, vanilla bean, and seeds until just about to boil. Remove from heat and let it sit for 20 minutes to enhance the flavors. Don't forget to remove and discard the vanilla bean before proceeding.
  • In a bowl, vigorously whisk together yolks, sugar, and cornflour until light and creamy. Mix in the milk mixture. Transfer back to the pan and gently cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Take off the heat, stir in the chocolate until fully melted, and allow it to cool.
  • Set aside 2 tablespoons of biscuit. Divide the rest of the biscuit among 8 serving glasses. Layer half of the strawberry mixture on top. Add custard, cream, and the remaining strawberry mixture. Sprinkle the reserved biscuit on top, and garnish with chocolate and petals, if desired.
