It's June (almost July) and that means Strawberry Season!
Strawberries are so versatile and delicious. They're in my top five fave fruits.
You can put them in salads, jams, pies, cakes, ice cream, white meat marinades, smoothies, just about anything.
And they're pretty!
This is one of my favorite summertime desserts and its really pretty simple to make and inexpensive.
Whats better than cheap and easy?
Cheap, easy and TASTY!
Grilled Strawberries with Custard
makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
16 medium to large strawberries, washed and de-stemmed
cinnamon and sugar
wooden skewers
While strawberries are still wet, roll them in cinnamon sugar and place 4 deep on a skewer. Grill on medium heat for 45-60 seconds each side.
Custard Ingredients:
2 cups vanilla ice cream
4 egg yolks
Heat ice cream in saucepan on stove until hot. Beat egg yolks. Slowly temper egg yolks with ice cream. Return to saucepan and cook over medium-low heat (about a 4) until thickened.
**NOTE** if you cook it too hot it turns into vanilla scrambled eggs. not good. if you temper it too fast it turns into vanilla scrambled eggs. not good.
Pop strawberries off skewers into bowls and ladle custard on top. I like to sprinkle a little nutmeg on top for "prettiness".
