Summer berry sundae

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Lemon Curd---
1 Egg plus 2 egg yolks
½ cup Freshly squeezed, strained,
Lemon juice (about 2
Lemons)
Grated zest of 2 lemons
½ cup Sugar
Summer Berry Simmer---
2½ cup Mixed berries: strawberries
Cut in quarters, blueberries
Raspberries, blackberries,
Plus a few extra berries
For garnish
2 tablespoons Sugar
½ teaspoon Water
2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
1 pint Premium vanilla ice cream

Directions

Make the lemon curd:

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg and the yolks, lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar. Set over very low heat and, stirring gently and constantly with a rubber spatula, cook until it thickens, about 5 minutes. It will be just ready to boil. Don't let it. Strain into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to cool to room temperature.

Cook the berries:

In a medium saucepan, toss the strawberries and blueberries with the sugar and water. Wash the side of the pot down with a wet pastry brush and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the berries are soft but still intact, about 2 minutes. If the sugar hasn't dissolved, add a few more drops of water. Stir in the vanilla extract. Remove the pot from the heat and add the more delicate berries. Do not stir; let the residual heat soften them. Transfer to a bowl to cool.

Assemble the sundae:

Add about a tablespoon of the berries to the bottom of 4 sundae glasses. Add a dollop of lemon curd to that and then spoon about ½ cup of ice cream into each glass. Blanket the ice cream with more lemon curd and berries. Garnish with a few uncooked berries.
