Strawberries and Cream

My husband loves strawberries and cream and he asks for it all the time. The only problem is we always seem to have strawberries and no cream. Well one night for dessert I decided to invent my own cream. I modified a pudding recipe and came up with this:

Strawberries

I like to slice my strawberries and then sweeten the in a bowl. I'll do a handful of strawberry slices and sprinkle some sweetener on top. Then another handful of strawberry slices and another sprinkling of sweetener until all the strawberry slices have been sweetened.

Cream

Scramble two eggs in a bowl. Do not cook them. Just set them aside

In a sauce pan mix together:

3/4 cup of sugar
2 Tablespoons of corn starch
3 cups of milk
1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla
1 tablespoon of butter

Bring mixture to a low boil. Then pour some of the mixture into the bowl with the eggs. Stir the eggs vigorously as you do so. This will cook the eggs, but keep them from becoming clumps in the cream. Combine all of the mixture together and serve over cut and sweetened strawberries.
