1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
6 eggs
1/2 cup sherry

Pour the milk into the top of a double boiler. In a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, cornstarch and eggs until smooth. Add to the milk and heat until the mixture is thickened, stirring constantly. Set aside to cool. Add the sherry to the cooled custard. Whip the cream and set aside.
