Ingredients
Vanilla flavoured Custard powder - 3 tbsp ( i had used brownson and polson)
Milk -500 ml/ 2 1/2 cups
Sugar -3-5 tbsp (as per your taste)
Mixed fruits- anything of your choice
(Banana,apple, chikoo/sapodilla, pomegranate, grapes(seedless) strawberry ).Do not add watermelon as it oozes water.

2.Combine the custard power with 4 tbsp milk in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly.Your custard paste is ready.
3.once milk boils Add the custard paste,sugar to the milk and cook stirring continuously until it becomes thick.
4.you have to stir continuously to avoid forming lumps in the custard.don’t cook till very thick as on cooling the consistency thickens more.
5.Remove the mixture from the heat when it reaches the desired consistency.
6 Allow the mixture to thoroughly cool and refrigerate
7 prior to 15 minutes before serving cut fruits of your choice.You can use any seasonal fruits or mixed fruits.
8.Before serving, arrange the fruits in a bowl or cup and pour cold custard on top of it .mix well and serve chilled
Tips
- Add sugar or honey to your taste. For more rich n crunchy taste, just before serving add some finely chopped/crushed pistachios/walnuts/almonds or any desired nuts.
- you can also use flavoured custard powders like strawberry,mango etc.
- Keep the prepared custard in the fridge because there is thin layer formed on top if you keep it outside for long time.
- Chop the fruits only just before serving otherwise the colour of the fruits may get change.
