FRUIT CUSTARD RECIPE

Fruit Custard is the simplest and a very quick dessert to make. When my daughter suddenly demands something sweet, I quickly make fruit custard for her and add whatever fruits are available in the house at that time.

I love the taste of grapes and mangoes in the fruit custard but as both of them are seasonal fruits I sometimes make fruit custard only with apple, bananas and pomegranate.

INGREDIENTS

Milk  500 ml

Custard powder 3 table spoons

Sugar   4 table spoons

fruits of your choice

METHOD

1. From the 500 ml milk, take about 2-3 table spoons milk in a bowl and keep aside.

2. Heat the remaining milk in a heavy bottomed pan and let it cook over medium flame.

3. Once the milk starts boiling, add sugar to it and cook over medium flame.

4. Add the custard powder to the milk that we had kept aside and mix it nicely so that there are no lumps.

5.Turn the flame to low and add the custard paste to the boiling milk and stir well or whisk with a hand whisk so that no lumps are formed.

6. Cook on low flame till the custard starts to thicken. The custard will thicken more once cooled so adjust the consistency accordingly.

7. Remove from the stove and let it cool.

8. Once completely cooled you can add the chopped fruits of your choice or else chill the fruit custard in the refrigerator and add the fruits just before serving time. I added apples, bananas, grapes, kiwi and strawberries. You can add whichever fruits you have at home and enjoy your custard.
