Microwave Fruit Custard | Eggless Fruit Custard Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 cups milk (I used reduced-fat milk)
• 1/8 tsp saffron strands (optional)
• 4 tbsp custard powder (I used mango-flavored one)
• 3 tbsp sugar (or to taste)
• 1 banana (peeled and sliced)
• 1 apple (peeled and sliced)
• 2 tbsp pomegranate arils
• few grapes (optional)
• 2 tsp rose syrup (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a microwave-safe bowl, add the milk and microwave it for 4 to 5 minutes. Keep stirring it every 2 minutes, and this ensures it doesn't overflow. Now add the saffron strands, sugar, and custard powder. Mix it vigorously with a hand whisk and make sure there aren't any lumps. Alternatively, you can take out 1/4 cup of milk, mix the custard, and then add it to the remaining milk.

2. 2

   Now microwave this custard milk for 1.5 to 2 minutes. It will thicken slowly. As it cools down, the mixture will thicken. Let it cool for 10 minutes; if the mixture hasn't thickened to your desired consistency, microwave for a couple of minutes. Let the custard sauce cool down to room temperature.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, chop the fruits. Add to the room temperature custard sauce. Mix well and refrigerate. Just before serving, drizzle some rose syrup and top it up with pomegranate arils and grapes if using.
