Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the 2 cups milk, 3 tbsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and just begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the custard from heat and stir in the 1 tsp vanilla extract. Pour the custard into serving glasses or bowls and let cool for 5 minutes.
Step 3
While the custard cools, gently toss the 2 cups mixed red berries with a little sugar if desired. Spoon the berries over the custard.
Step 4
Whip the 1/2 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Top each dessert with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves if you have them.
