Fruit custard is a light, refreshing and delicious creamy dessert. It can be a great treat to your guests, family and friends during summer.
Custard was traditionally prepared at home using cream, milk and eggs. Now, we get ready-made custard powder in various flavours. I have used chocolate custard powder bought from market.
Learn how to make fruit custard by following the recipe below.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (500ml) + 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 2 tablespoons custard powder ( I used chocolate custard)
- Chopped seasonal fruits of your choice like apple, banana, pomegranate, grapes, strawberry, papaya and kiwi. Avoid citric and watery fruits.
- Sliced dry fruits
Servings: 2
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Method:
- Heat 2 cups of milk in a broad container over medium flame. Keep stirring occasionally.
- Add 1/4 cup of sugar when the milk comes to boil.
- In the meanwhile, take 1/4th cup of warm milk in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of custard powder. If you are using vanilla custard, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder to get the chocolate flavor.
- Turn off the flame to avoid forming lumps and then pour the custard powder into the milk.
- Now, cook the mixture on low flame (approx 5-7 minutes) until it starts to thicken. Keep stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
- Turn off the flame and let it cool.
- Refrigerate it for about an hour.
- Add chopped fruits of your choices and the fruit custard is ready.
Garnish the fruit custard with slices of dry fruits, jelly and some chocolate syrup and serve it chilled.
