Instructions
- To a heavy bottom pan, add milk on medium-high heat.
- Once it has heated up a little, take out 3 tablespoons milk from the pan into a small bowl. Add in 3 tablespoons custard powder to that milk and mix well. There should be no lumps. Set it aside.
- Stir the milk in the pan at regular intervals until it comes to a gentle boil. Then lower the heat, add sugar, cardamom powder if using, and mix until combined.
- Stir the custard mix and add it to the milk slowly. Add a little at a time while stirring the milk in the pan continuously.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the custard just starts to thicken while stirring continuously. Turn off the heat and let it cool down.
- Cover the custard and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour.
- When the custard is almost ready to be served, chop the fruits that you are using. Ensure to include various color fruits to make the final dessert look vibrant.
- Once chilled, transfer the custard to a serving bowl and mix in the chopped fruits. You can also save some fruits, such as pomegranate seeds, to top the serving bowls.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate the fruit custard for 1-2 hours. Then serve in small bowls and garnish on top with saved fruits. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to chill the custard before adding fruits, and then again after adding fruits and before serving.
- Once you add the custard mixture, keep stirring continuously until it starts to thicken. Then, as soon as it thickens, take off the heat.
- Do not overcook. Remember that custard does thicken as it cools down.
- Remember that once you add fruits, the custard will thin a little as the fruits release moisture.
- Once the custard is ready and before refrigerating, stir the custard so it cools down a little. This will help to prevent from forming a thick layer on top.
