How to make fruit custard - best fruit custard recipe with fresh fruits in custard cream

-

I have no hesitation to brand this as my family’s favourite dessert choice. Any time of the year, any seasonal fruits tossed in this creamy custard cream is always a winner!

I believe that this is the best way to sneak lots of varieties of fruits into kids’ diet without much cajoling.  If you are serving kids under 5 years, make sure to cut the fruits into small pieces to avoid any choking hazards.

As for the custard, the vanilla flavour is best for this recipe as it doesn’t rob the natural sweetness and the fruity aroma of the assortment of fruits you add to it. Also, feel free to toss some colourful tutti fruiti, cashews, raisins etc to give it a more cheerful appearance and taste.

What you need: 

2 tbsp Vanilla flavour custard powder

2 bsp Condensed milk

1tbsp Sugar

1/2 litre or two cups of Milk

Fruits : Go for bananas, oranges, apples, mangoes, kiwis, red/green grapes, cherries, blueberries, papaya, pineapples, strawberries etc

Let’s make it: 

Make the custard

  • Follow the instructions in the back of the packet and make the custard cream. Add condensed milk and sugar to sweeten
  • Leave it to cool
  • Cover with a cling film and place in the fridge

My tip: Always remember to add a small amount of custard powder to milk. 2 tbsp of custard cream to 1/2 lt of milk will be quite alright. If it is lumpy or thick add more milk and adjust the consistency

Slice the fruits

  • 1/2 hr before serving, sllice fruits and collect them in a bowl

Serve

  • Add the fruits to the custard cream and give a good mix
  • Serve immeditely!
  • Yummy!

This is indeed a seasonal delight! At the start of the Spring season when the cherry tomatoes are in abundance, is the best time to make this pickle! The speciality of this pickle is that it has no vinegar or a great volume of unhealthy oils.   It’s just natural and simple as it can be!  I am sure that you will love looking at your home-made tomato pickle jar as it sits prettily on your window sill, bathing in the warm glow of Spring sunshine! Once, the pickle is made, you must place the jar under sunlight for a couple of days. This will allow the tomatoes to wilt naturally and ferment with the juices and mustard oil. You need only a few ingredients as follows; Ripped juicy cherry tomatoes 8 Peeled garlic cloves 5 Green chilies slit in the middle 4 Chili powder 1/2 tsp Mustard powder 1/2 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Turmeric 1/4 tsp Let’s make it: First, prepare the glass jar by washing it thoroughly and wipe until dry.
