Fruit Custard

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons custard powder
• 1/4 cup warm milk ((to dissolve custard powder))
• 1/4 cup sugar ((adjust according to your taste))
• 2 cups assorted fruits ((I used apple, banana, mango, grapes, pomegranate))

Instructions

1. 1

   Add custard powder, and warm milk in a small bowl. Use a hand whisk to thoroughly stir it, making sure there are no lumps. Set it aside.

2. 2

   Pour the whole milk into a heavy-bottom saucepan. Bring it to a gentle boil on medium-high heat. Stir occasionally.

3. 3

   Once the milk has boiled and begun to foam, add sugar and stir well for 1-2 minutes until it dissolves.

4. 4

   Then reduce the heat to low and pour the custard powder mixture while stirring continuously. Make sure there are no lumps.

5. 5

   Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the custard thickens. Then remove from the heat and let the custard sauce cool to room temperature. The custard thickens as it cools down.Note: If you are looking for a thicker custard, cook for a few more minutes.

6. 6

   Then cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to chill.

7. 7

   While the custard is cooling, wash and chop the preferred fruits into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside.

8. 8

   Once chilled, add the chopped fruits to the custard and gently mix everything well.
