Fruit Custard

I prefer fruit custard as a healthy alternative for ice cream. It is one of the easiest dessert to make and at the same time very nutritious and healthy too.......We buy lots of fruits for making fresh juices and as well as eating raw after meal. At the end of every week, I used to make fruit custard with the remaining fruits whatever left over.Watching good movie along with a big bowl of fruit custard are the greatest things which we used to do every weekend.I hope you will also enjoy it.



But care should be taken while boiling the custard solution,as it will stick to the vessel .I have added nuts to make it more nutritious and two tbsp of condensed milk and vanilla sugar for rich taste.

Ingredients:
Fresh fruits - 1 cup(Any fruits of your choice)
Custard powder - 3 tbsp
Milk - 3 cups
Condensed milk - 2tbsp
Vanilla sugar - 1 tbsp
Almonds - 1 tbsp(grated)
Pecan nuts - 1 tbsp(chopped)
Sugar - 3 tbsp

Method:


1. Mix 3 tbsp of readymade custard powder in 1/4 cup of milk and make it into a running paste.
2. Boil remaining milk in a container.
3. When the milk gets boiled ,simmer the heat and slowly add the prepared custard paste into the milk and keep stirring.
4. Allow it to boil for 4 to 5 minutes until it gets thickens but stir simultaneously to avoid lump formation.
4. Leave it aside for cooling , it will take about 30 to 40 minutes for complete cooling.
4. Keep it in fridge for 1 hour.
5. Take a cup of fresh fruits(I used apples,pears,green grapes,strawberry and banana) and sprinkle a tbsp of vanilla sugar over it (This is to be done just before serving)
6. While serving add 2 tbsp of condensed milk to the custard solution and stir it well .
7. Now add the custard solution to the bowl of fruits and mix it gently.
8. Garnish it with almond and pecan nuts and enjoy.
