Italian Pastry Cream
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon Amaretto
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 egg yolks
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Filling: In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and vanilla to a boil . In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cornstarch and whisk vigorously until no lumps remain. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture until incorporated with milk and vanilla. Whisk in the remaining hot milk mixture. Using strainer into the saucepan, pour the mixture through a strainer back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and slowly boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and Amaretto. Let cool slightly. Chill at least 2 hours
Glaze:
Fruit can range from strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, orange slices, grapes, mango, banana, etc.

Use 1/2 cup of any kind of jelly that is similar in color, above is seedless red raspberry, place in microwave for 25 seconds until melted and brush over sliced arranged fruits. Start at the edge and work to the middle layering the fruits. I always put a center of fruit of the same thing last. I clustered raspberries in the center of this one to even off as you finish arranging fruits depending on the size it may be uneven so the center is a good place to fill that space to even it off.
This looks so good! What a beautiful dessert for for guests. I love the Amaretto with the strawberries...that has to be delicious!
