Instructions
Make the custard
- To make the custard, in a small bowl, combine custard powder and 1/4 cup milk. Give this a good mix and set it aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the rest of the milk and sugar. Bring this to a slight boil, then pour the custard and milk mixture into the saucepan. Keep whisking till the mixture comes to a boil and becomes thick. Add cardamom powder and saffron to the mixture.
- Let it cool down. The custard thickens as it cools. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. You can also make the custard a day before and refrigerate.
Make Whipped Cream
- Add the heavy cream and sugar to the steel bowl of your stand mixer. Use the wire whisk attachment (or use your hand mixer), and beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar until it forms peaks. Make sure to not overbeat, else the cream will separate.
Prepare the Cake and Fruits
- Slice the pound cake into a 3/4-1 cm layer. Then, cut it into small pieces.
- Cut the strawberries into small pieces.
Assemble the jars
- Add a spoonful of custard to the base of the cup. Place a layer of pound cake. Then, add a spoonful of custard on top. Make sure it spreads on the cake.
- Add a layer of strawberries. Then, top with a layer of custard. This layer is about two spoonfuls of custard. (adjust based on the size of the cups you use)
- Now, arrange the blueberries on top along the rim of the cup, so the layer is visible.
- The final layer is whipped cream. You can just spread it on the top of the blueberries. If you have a piping bag, use that to make the top layer look rprettier.
- Garnish with chopped pistachios and dried rose petals.
- Repeat with the remaining jars. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
