- Whisk half the hot milk into the egg mixture; when fully incorporated, whisk in the rest.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan, stirring over medium heat until it thickens slightly or a thermometer indicates 185F (85C).
- Remove from heat; if necessary, use a hand mixer to smooth the custard.
- Pour the hot custard into a bowl, add the chocolate, stirring to mix & cool to room temperature.
- In another bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form; fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream, using a spatula.
- Spoon the custard into each glass over the berry layer & return to the fridge.
- CRUMBLE: Toast the pine nuts on a baking sheet in a 300F (150C) oven until golden, about 5 minutes; let cool & coarsely chop.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design!
