Arrange 6 ladyfingers in bottom of dish, trimming to fit. Spoon half of berries into lined dish. Top with 6 ladyfingers, trimming to fit. Spoon remaining berries over. Top with 8 ladyfingers, trimming to fit. Cover with plastic wrap; place small plate atop pudding to weigh down. Chill pudding and juices separately overnight.
  • Peel back plastic wrap. Invert pudding onto plate. Spoon some of reserved juices over. Cut into wedges and serve with Low-fat Vanilla Custard Sauce.

Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality vanilla extract or vanilla bean for the best flavor. - Make sure to whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they are thick and pale yellow. This will help to prevent the custard from curdling. - Add the hot milk to the egg yolk mixture slowly, whisking constantly. This will also help to prevent the custard from curdling. - Cook the custard over medium heat, stirring constantly. Do not let it boil, or it will curdle. - Once the custard has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. - Let the custard cool completely before serving. You can speed up the cooling process by placing the custard in a bowl of ice water. - Serve the custard chilled, topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
