  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons custard powder (vanilla flavor)
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A few mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

    • Tip: You can use any combination of fruits you like. Just make sure they’re fresh and ripe.
     
  2. Make the Custard:

    • Heat the remaining milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves.
    • Slowly add the custard paste to the heated milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
    • Cook the mixture until it thickens, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

    • Once the custard has cooled, gently fold in the chopped fruits.
    • Transfer the mixture to serving bowls or a large serving dish.
    • Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and the custard to chill.
     
  4. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy custard and juicy fruits.

  • Seasonal Twist: Use fruits that are in season for the best flavor and freshness.
  • Extra Flavor: Add a splash of citrus juice or zest to the custard for a tangy kick.
