FRESH STRAWBERRIES WITH ALMOND CRèME ANGLAISE
Strawberries, like asparagus, peaches, corn and a few other joys of summer, are perhaps best enjoyed unadulterated, at least at the beginning of the season, when the thrill of their newness is fresh. Later on, when you're on your 10th quart, it's time to tinker. I craved a kind of crème anglaise, a cooked but marginally thickened custard. But I wanted something a little more exciting than the standard vanilla-scented one. By jolting the custard with toasted almonds, I met that need, and with only a tad more work than in the original version. Strain out the cooked almonds if you want a creamy sauce (and you should). Served warm, over good strawberries, with slivered almonds as a garnish, this is almost as good an option as shortcake.

Steps:
- Put chopped almonds in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, shaking pan occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to toast, about 3 minutes.
- Add milk, cream, sugar and egg yolks, and whisk well to combine. Cook, whisking almost constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.
- While sauce is still hot, strain it through a sieve and let cool a bit. To serve, put a cup of strawberries in each dish, drizzle with warm sauce and garnish with slivered almonds. Sauce will keep, tightly covered, in refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Place ingredients in blender container in order given.
- Blend 30 seconds,stop and stir down sides.
- Blend 30-60 seconds until smooth.
- Or, mix in bowl with wire whisk or mixer, first combining flour and eggs, adding liquid gradually. Beat until smooth; add other ingredients.
- NOTES : Batter can be used immediately. However, an hour or two standing will produce slightly more tender crepes.
- Or, refrigerate batter up to three days for use as needed.
- Measure flour and liquid carefully, since consistency of batter is important. (It should be about the consistency of thick heavy cream.).
- Spoon flour into 1 cup measure and level off with straight edge of knife or spatula.
- CREPES: Lightly grease. Measure about 1/4 cup batter into pan. Tilt pan to spread batter. Once crepe has lots of little bubbles, loosen any edges with spatula. Flip crepe over. This side cooks quickly. Slide crepe from pan to plate. Make all the crepes, stacking them as you go. no need to oil the pan again, after the first crepe.
- Once the crepes have cooled, trim them all to the same size. Make them about 6". Using a lid from a margarine container works great. When no one is looking, eat the scraps -- you worked hard for them, don't throw them out ;).
- Filling: Combine strawberries and granulated sugar in a bowl; stir well.
- Cover and chill 1 hour. Combine cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl, and beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until blended. Add sour cream, beat until smooth.
- Spread 1/4 cup cream cheese mixture over half of each crepe, and top with 1/2 cup strawberry mixture. Sprinkle crepes with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar. Serve immediately.

STRAWBERRIES IN ROSE CRèME ANGLAISE
Fresh fruit is an excellent option for dessert. Here, ripe, sweet organic strawberries are served in a pool of crème anglaise, an easy-to-make pouring custard, with a splash of rose water. Since strawberries are botanically related to roses, it's a nice pairing, and a few rose petals add drama. Make the crème anglaise a day or two in advance.

Steps:
- Put half-and-half in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to just under a simmer, then turn off heat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and egg yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle hot half-and-half into the sugar mixture, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook, whisking, over a very low heat until the mixture coats the back of the spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. (Alternatively, you can do this in a double boiler.) Remove from heat and strain sauce through a fine-mesh sieve. Cool over an ice bath, then stir in rose flower water. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. (Crème anglaise can be made up to 2 days in advance.)
- To serve, place strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, tasting as you go until the berries are your preferred sweetness. If you like, add 2 or 3 drops of the rose flower water to the berries.
- Pour ½ cup sauce into shallow dessert bowls. Spoon berries over. Garnish with rose petals, if using.
Tips:
- Make sure the crepes are thin and evenly cooked. This will help them to fold easily and prevent them from tearing.
- Don't overfill the crepes. Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and may cause them to break.
- Serve the crepes immediately after they are made. This will ensure that they are warm and fresh.
- If you are making the crepes ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be reheated in the oven or microwave before serving.
- For the creme anglaise, make sure to whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they are thick and pale yellow. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- When adding the hot milk to the egg yolk mixture, do so slowly and whisk constantly. This will help to temper the eggs and prevent them from cooking.
- For the strawberry sauce, use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If you are using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely before using.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the strawberry sauce to brighten the flavor.
Conclusion:
Three-berry crepes with creme anglaise and strawberry sauce is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish at home with ease.
