Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the cornflour with 100 ml of cold milk until you have a smooth paste.
2. In a saucepan, heat the rest of the milk with the sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt until it just simmers.
3. Pour the cornflour paste into the hot milk, whisking vigorously.
4. Stir constantly over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes, making sure the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom.
5. Off the heat, add the vanilla. If using the yolks, whisk them in vigorously, then return to low heat for 1 minute without boiling.
6. Pour into small bowls, cover with clingfilm pressed onto the surface to prevent a skin, let cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
7. Serve chilled, with red berries.
