Ingredients

4 large egg's yokes

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

1/3 cup Splenda Granulated Sugar

1 cup finely chopped fresh ripe strawberries

Directions

Change your beater to whisk on your mixer.

Place in the mixing bowl the egg yokes and sugar.

Whisk until light and fluffy; like whip cream.

In a small pot add milk, heavy cream and strawberries. Fresh fruit is always best but you can use frozen.

Constantly whisking bring to just before it starts to boil but you see steam releasing from the mixture.

Turn off heat.

While constantly whisking add one ladle of egg and sugar mixture slowly until you have added all of the mixture into the milk.

Return to high heat constantly whisking and cook for 5 minutes.
