Fruit Custard

I love custard since my childhood, and I can eat it at anytime of the day. Also, you can prepare this dessert at anytime of the year. More the fruits, more rich will be the taste.

Let's have a look at its preparation.


Cooking and Preparation time (including cutting the fruits): 45 - 60 minutes.

Serving: 5 - 6 people

Ingredients:

1) Milk: 750 liters

2) Vanilla Custard Powder: 3 - 4 tea spoons

It comes in different flavors such as strawberry etc.; however. I am going to use Vanilla flavor.

3) Sugar: 4 - 5 table spoons

The best thing about preparing desserts at home is that you can always control the level of Sugar. Generally, I prefer less sugar than the normal.

Let's see the fruits now

1) Strawberry - 5 - 6 pieces

You can chop them.

2) Orange Pulp 1.5 oranges will be enough

3) Pomegranate - Half will suffice

4) Apple (Chopped) - 1

5) Banana - This goes extremely well in a custard

Procedure:

Take a vessel with a heavy base.

Please note that it is very important for the vessel to be heavy from the bottom, else the milk along with the custard will stick at it.

As the milk is getting boiled, in the mean time, please take a bowl and add the custard powder in it. Now add 5 table spoons of cold milk in the custard powder and mix it properly.

We never add custard powder into the boiling milk as the powder might leave some bubbles and might not get dissolve properly; hence, to be on a safer side, we mix it in the cold milk in a small bowl.

Mix it properly until it looks like the image below.

Make sure that there are no thick custard powder bubbles. Now once the milk is boiled, put the burner on slow flame and add this custard.

Put the burner on high flame and wait for a boil. Alongside, stir it properly.

You will notice that the color will change in some time.

When you see the boil, add sugar, cook it on slow burner for 10 - 15 minutes. After that, remove the vessel from the stove and let the custard cool down. After sometime, keep it in the refrigerator.

Serving time:

Now chop all the fruits and put them in a bowl.

Please note that perform this step only at the time of serving this dish. When you want to eat custard, chop the fruits and add custard into it which you refrigerated sometime back.

As mentioned in the ingredients section above, I am using the following fruits.

Put all of them in a big bowl.

They look yummy!!!

Once the Custard gets cold in the refrigerator, add it on the top of the fruits.

And your delicious Fruit Custard dessert is absolutely ready. You can also garnish it with some jam which you can put at the center of the bowl while serving.

In case you feel while eating that the sugar is less, you can always add Amul Milkmaid on the top of it. Trust me, it will enhance the taste. 

Enjoy this delicacy and do let me know your feedback. I would love to hear experiences from you.
