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...

This is the best way to use British strawberries at the peak of their season and you will instantly fall in love with the extraordinary fresh taste of this beautiful jam! The beautiful red colour of strawberries will turn into a gleaming ruby red shade and taste heavenly when the jam is made.

Easy Caramel pudding/ Spanish Flan recipe with fresh milk

Image
Caramel pudding, Cre’me caramel or Spanish Flan has been my favourite dessert since childhood.  Who can resist such a dainty golden pudding sitting on a pool of golden syrup! Yum! Yum! My mum made this with condensed milk which, undoubtedly had a very smooth, rich, and creamier texture. Being a seeker of healthy versions of any dish, I replaced condensed milk with fresh whole milk and achieved grand results, which I would love to share with you all.
