Fruit Custard

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp Custard powder
• 2 cup Whole Milk
• 1 tsp Cardamom powder
• 1 cup Sugar (For a healthier option, substitute with jaggery or honey.)
• 0.5 cup Apple (Chopped)
• 0.5 cup Banana (Chopped)
• 0.5 cup Mango
• 0.5 cup Pomegranate
• 0.5 cup Strawberry
• 0.5 cup Water (For mixing custard powder)

Instructions

1. 1In a pan over medium heat, bring the milk to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
2. 2Add the cardamom powder to the boiling milk and let it simmer for an additional minute.
3. 3In a separate bowl, mix the custard powder with 1/2 cup of water until smooth and lump-free. If using corn starch as a substitute, add vanilla extract to the milk.
4. 4Turn off the heat and gradually add the custard mixture to the milk, stirring continuously. Add sugar or jaggery and mix well.
5. 5Cook the mixture over low heat until it thickens, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
6. 6Remove from heat and allow the custard to cool. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.
7. 7Once chilled, add the chopped fruits to the custard and mix gently.
8. 8Garnish with dry fruits and cream if desired, and serve chilled.
