Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups milk (can use almond milk or soya milk)
  • 3 tablespoons custard powder
  • ¼ cup warm milk
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 cups or as much as you want Fruits of your choice
  • 1 Medium apple
  • ½ large mango, ripe
  • 1 medium banana, ripe
  • ½ medium pomegranate

Instructions
 

  • Step 1:
    Take a wide thick bottomed pot and heat the milk in it. Add sugar and stir until it is well dissolved. Take a small cup and put in the custard powder along with ¼ cup warm milk. Mix well and make sure the mixture has no lumps.
  • Step 2:
    When the milk is hot enough (but not yet boiling), add 2 tablespoons of the custard mixture and whisk well. Once it has been mixed well, add 2 more tablespoons of the custard mixture. Mix it again. Repeat this one more time.
  • Step 3:
    Turn the heat down to medium and continuously stir until the custard thickens. To check if it’s the right consistency, dip a spoon in the custard. It should be thick enough that it coats the back of the spoon but is still runny.
  • Step 4:
    Once it is thick enough take it off the heat and whisk it once more to make it smoother. Cover the pot immediately and let it cool. When it cools down completely, chill it in the fridge.
  • Step 5:
    Peel and chop the fruits to bite size and add them to a serving bowl. Whisk the custard and slowly pour it over the chopped fruits. Mix it all gently and serve.

Notes

Step 2 Note: you can taste test after this step to check if the custard needs more sugar.
