Blackberry Custard

This creamy and fruity blackberry custard is a delightful dessert that combines the sweetness of blackberries with the richness of custard.

Ingredients - Serves 6

In a saucepan, combine the blackberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the blackberries release their juices and the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, vanilla extract, and cornstarch.
Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the blackberries, stirring constantly.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
Remove the custard from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or seeds.
Divide the custard into individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve the blackberry custard chilled, topped with whipped cream and garnished with fresh mint leaves.
