Ingredients:

4 cups milk
6 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1 sponge cake
Sweet cream
Fresh strawberries, sweetened to taste
6 egg whites
6 tablespoons sugar


Preparation:

• Make a boiled custard of one quart of milk, the yolks of six eggs and 3/4 cup of sugar; flavor to taste.
  
• Line a glass fruit-dish with slices of sponge cake dipped in sweet cream; lay upon this ripe strawberries sweetened to taste; then a layer of cake and strawberries as before.
  
• When the custard is cold pour over the whole.
  
• Now beat the egg whites over the steam to a stiff froth, add slowly six tablespoons of sugar to the froth and keep beating until all sugar is in.
  
• Put over the top.
  
• Decorate the top with the largest berries saved out at the commencement.

TIP: Raspberry charlotte may be made the same way.

NOTE: If you don't like egg whites as topping, you can put whipped cream on the top.
