I was looking for a way to use up the strawberries I had left after making the Strawberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake. I’ve never heard of a Russian Creme Custard. My husband being of Russian decent was extremely happy that I was going to make it. I was happy that in this 90 degree weather I didn’t have to turn the oven on. This was very easy to make. The recipe can be made with raspberries or strawberries. I had fresh berries but, you could also use frozen that are thawed and drained well. I got up in the morning , made the 2 components to the dessert and left them in the fridge until I was ready to put them together. I also halved this recipe because it’s just the two of us. It worked out beautifully, I got 3 very nice portions, the full recipe makes 6. Russian Creme Custard would be well suited for cooler months as well as the summer. In the winter we tend to make very hearty meals, this would be the perfect dessert for after one of those meals. A little bit of light , creamy summertime sweetness to end a winter dinner. So what did my husband think of the dessert… “It’s as good as the best strawberry ice cream out there.” Russian Creme Custard, a light,cool ,creamy ,strawberry dessert that’s easy to make and taste like summertime in a pretty glass. Enjoy!
