Time 3h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups whole or 2% milk
1/2 cup dry sherry or other dry white wine or white grape juice
3 large egg yolks, beaten
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 packages (3 oz each) ladyfingers (24 ladyfingers)*
1/2 cup strawberry preserves
1 pint (2 cups) fresh strawberries, sliced, or 1 box (10 oz) frozen sliced strawberries, thawed, drained
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • In 3-quart saucepan, mix 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in milk and sherry. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute.
  • Gradually stir at least half of the hot mixture into egg yolks, then stir back into hot mixture in saucepan. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla. Cover; refrigerate about 3 hours or until chilled.
  • Split ladyfingers horizontally in half. Spread cut sides with preserves. In 2-quart serving bowl, layer one-fourth of the ladyfingers, cut sides up, half of the strawberries and half of the pudding; repeat layers. Arrange remaining ladyfingers around edge of bowl in upright position with cut sides toward center. (It may be necessary to gently ease ladyfingers down into pudding about 1 inch so they remain upright.) Cover; refrigerate.
  • In chilled large deep bowl, beat whipping cream and 2 tablespoons sugar with electric mixer on low speed until mixture begins to thicken. Gradually increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over dessert. Sprinkle with almonds. Cover; refrigerate until serving. Store covered in refrigerator.
