6. Chilling time: 2-4 hours (or as desired) 

Instruction for making Fruit Custard:

 

1. Preparing the Fruits: 

Wash, peel, and chop the seasonal fruits into bite-sized pieces. You can use a combination of sweet and tangy fruits to add depth to the custard. Mangoes and bananas provide natural sweetness, while apples and grapes offer a delightful crunch.

 

2. Dissolving the Custard Powder: 

In a small bowl, take a couple of tablespoons of cold milk and add the custard powder to it. Mix well until there are no lumps, forming a smooth custard paste.

 

3. Boiling the Milk: 

In a saucepan, heat the full-fat milk over medium flame. Add sugar to the milk and stir until it dissolves completely. Bring the milk to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

 

4. Thickening the Milk: 

Once the milk starts to simmer, add the custard paste to the milk while stirring continuously. Allow the custard to thicken and achieve a creamy consistency. This is the base of our Fruit Custard.

 

5. Adding Vanilla Essence: 

Once the custard thickens, add the vanilla essence to enhance the flavor of the custard. Stir it in gently, ensuring it blends well with the custard mixture.

 

6. Cooling the Custard: 

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the custard cool down to room temperature. As it cools, it will thicken further, creating a creamy texture.

 

7. Mixing in the Fruits: 

Once the custard reaches room temperature, add the chopped fruits to it. Gently fold the fruits into the custard to ensure they are evenly coated with the creamy goodness.

 

8. Chilling and Serving: 

Refrigerate the Fruit Custard for a few hours, allowing the flavors to meld together. Before serving, garnish with chopped nuts and fresh mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.
