Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a large saucepan, heat 4 cups milk over medium heat until steaming.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat the egg yolks with the remaining 1/2 cup milk.

Whisk half of the hot milk into the egg mixture until smooth, then gradually whisk the egg-milk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the pudding thickens, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Cool slightly, stirring several times to prevent a skin from forming. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the pudding and refrigerate until completely cooled and thickened, about 4 hours.
Before serving, vigorously whisk the pudding until smooth. Gently fold in the berries. Divide the pudding into six to eight bowls and sprinkle with crushed gingersnaps.
