Here’s a quick fruit custard recipe you can make in about 15 minutes:
Ingredients (serves 2–3)
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons custard powder (vanilla flavor)
- 3–4 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup mixed fruits (apple, banana, grapes, papaya, berries – chopped)
Steps
- Mix custard powder
- Take 2 tablespoons of custard powder in a small bowl.
- Add ¼ cup cold milk and mix to a smooth paste (no lumps).
- Heat milk
- In a saucepan, bring 1¾ cups of milk to a gentle boil.
- Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Add custard mixture
- Reduce heat to low.
- Slowly pour the custard paste into the hot milk, stirring continuously.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until the custard thickens.
- Cool down
- Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- For faster cooling, you can place it in the fridge for 5 minutes.
- Add fruits
- Once slightly cool, add the chopped fruits.
- Mix gently. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
💡 Tips:
- Avoid adding bananas until just before serving; they can brown if left too long.
- For a creamier custard, you can replace ½ cup of milk with cream.
