Mixed Fruit Custard / मिक्स्ड फ्रूट कस्टर्ड

Summer in India is the time to enjoy variety of tropical fruits. While many people find it boring to eat fruits directly, there are ways to make them more interesting and encourage their consumption.

Fresh Fruit Custard is one such preparation where there is virtually no restrictions on the amount or type of fruits you can mix. So be adventurous and generous. 

Mixed Fruit Custard 

Ingredients:

1. Custard Powder (easily available in market)
2. Mixed Fruits (as per your liking)
3. Milk toned/double toned 1/2 ltr.
4. Sugar (as per taste)

Custard powder is readily available in many flavors (Vanilla, strawberry, pineapple etc.). But I am using Vanilla flavor from "Frolic". The reason for using Vanilla is to have a base flavor which accommodates and accents the taste of other fruits added in it. 

Preparation: 2-3 servings

• Boil the Milk. You may add some water if you prefer your custard thin.  
• Take 1/2 cup of hot milk in bowl and add 2-3 tablespoons of custard powder and mix it well. Make sure there are no lumps in it. 
• Add the custard mix to the boiled milk while continuously stirring it to avoid lump formation. 
• Add sugar to your taste and bring the mix to boil. 
• Take it off the stove and let it cool to the room temperature.
• In the meantime cut/chop your favorite fruits (See pic above).
• Once the mix is at room temperature, put it in refrigerator (not in freezer) to further cool it down for a couple of hours.
• Your custard is ready now. Add fresh cut fruits and serve it chilled. 
• You may add nuts, cocoa powder etc. to garnish it if you like.
