Mince packets with brown sugar custard sauce

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Lowfat milk
3 larges Egg yolks
¼ cup Packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
2¼ cup Citrus Mince Filling; (see recipe)
3 Cocoa crepes; (see Angel Crepes)
12 White crepes; (see Angel Crepes)
Blanched orange peel; (optional)

Directions

To make the sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring milk to a boil. In a mixing bowl, combine egg yolks, brown sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat until thick and pale. With beaters running, add boiling milk in a slow, steady stream. Return custard mixture to saucepan and stir constantly over medium-low heat until thickened and mixture coats the back of a spoon. Keep warm by placing saucepan in a large pan of warm water until serving time, or pour custard into a jar, press a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface, and chill. To assemble packets: Curt cocoa crepes into ¼-inch strips and set aside. Place about 3 tablespoons of mince on bottom third of each white crepe. Roll once to enclose filling, fold in ends, and continue rolling to form a packet.

Complete remaining crepes. Wrap two cocoa "ribbons" around each packet to resemble a wrapped gift. Tie with blanched orange peel, of desired. Serve cold or place on a baking tray and warm through in a moderate oven for 10 minutes. Drizzle each serving with about ⅓ cup sauce.
