Ingredients:
- 1 cup mixed fruits (e.g., apple, banana, mango, pomegranate, grapes, or any of your choice)
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons custard powder (vanilla flavor)
- 4 tablespoons sugar (adjust as per taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder (optional)
- A pinch of saffron strands (optional for color and aroma)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Custard Base:
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of custard powder with a little milk (about 1/4 cup) to make a smooth paste.
- Heat the remaining milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Once it begins to warm up, add the custard paste to the milk.
- Stir constantly to avoid lumps. Add sugar and continue stirring until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- If desired, add a pinch of cardamom powder or saffron strands for extra flavor.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and allow it to cool down to room temperature.
- Prepare the Fruits:
- While the custard cools, wash, peel (if necessary), and chop the fruits into small bite-sized pieces. You can use a mix of your favorite fruits.
- Place the chopped fruits in a bowl.
- Combine:
- Once the custard has cooled, pour it over the chopped fruits. Gently mix to combine, ensuring the fruits are evenly coated with the custard.
- Serve:
- You can serve the fruit custard chilled, or at room temperature, depending on your preference.
- Garnish with some extra fruits on top for a colorful look.
Enjoy your refreshing and creamy Fruit Custard!
