Preparation
Step 1
Combine 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch, and the salt in a heavy saucepan; whisk in yolks and milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Boil 1 minute, or until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Let sit five minutes to cool. Meanwhile, whip the cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Divide the custard among six 8-ounce jelly jars or clear glasses (about 1/3 cup per jar). Sprinkle with blueberries, raspberries, and equal portions of the crushed cookies.
