INSTRUCTIONS

1.   Puree the strawberries and then dip each lady finger in the puree to coat. Then arrange the lady fingers in the dish like below. You won't use all the puree for this dipping. the remaining puree will be used for the strawberry pudding.

2.  Then make the Strawberry pudding as follows: In a saucepan, add the sugar, cornstarch, salt, remaining strawberry puree and milk. Stir so there are no lumps and bring to a gentle boil, stirring all the time. As soon as it boils, remove from heat.

3.   In a bowl, add the egg yolks and lightly beat. Then slowly pour in half of the milk mixture, stirring as you pour. Return the bowl mixture to the saucepan and bring to a gentle boil, stirring all the time until it starts to boil. At this point, have a little taste to see if you have the amount of sweetness to your liking. If you need more, simply add a tablespoon of sugar at a time and taste as you go along. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to cool.

4. Arrange slices of strawberries over the lady fingers. (use half the quantity). Then spread half of the strawberry pudding over the strawberries, then arrange the remaining strawberry slices on top of the pudding and then the remaining strawberry pudding on top of the strawberries. Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap and allow to chill completely for at least 4 hours. Overnight is even better.

5.   Whip the cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks then spread over the pudding mixture.

6.   Decorate on the top with some sliced strawberry halves and refrigerate for 4 hours then serve.
