Berries With Lemon Custard Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 ounces fat-free lemon yogurt
    2 egg yolks
    5 tablespoons sugar
    1 teaspoon cornstarch
    1 pinch salt
    2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
    1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
    1 cup 1% low-fat milk
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    2 cups fresh mixed berries or 2 cups frozen mixed berries
    4 sprigs of fresh mint
Preparation
    Line a sieve with a coffee filter, spoon in the yogurt and let drain for about an hour in the refrigerator.
    In a medium saucepan whisk together the egg yolks and sugar.
    Add cornstarch, salt, 1 Tbsp lemon zest and lemon juice and whisk together.
    Whisk in the milk over medium heat.
    Switch to a wooden spoon and cook, stirring constantly, until custard is thickened to the consistency of a thin pudding - about 5-8 minutes.
    Bring it up TO the boiling point but DO NOT let it boil.
    Remove when it is thickened and immediately pour into a bowl.
    Stir in vanilla, let mixture cool for 15 minutes.
    Whisk in the yogurt cheese from first step and chill for at least 1/2 hour.
    To serve, top berries with chilled custard sauce and garnish with the fresh mint and remaining lemon zest.
