How to Make Creamy Fruit Custard at Home(Beginner-Friendly Steps)

Ingredients You Need

• 2 tbsp of custard powder (you can choose the flavour based on your taste)
• 2 cups of full-fat milk/almond milk/coconut milk
• ¼ cup of sugar (adjust as per your taste) or maple syrup
• Choice of fruits (preferably seasonal fruits)

Step-by-Step Preparation for Creamy Fruit Custard at Home

1. Take a heavy-bottomed pan, add 500 ml of milk, and heat it on a very low flame.
2. Next, take another bowl and add 2 tbsp of custard powder and mix 4 tbsp of milk (room temperature)in it. You need to make a smooth paste of this mixture, avoiding lumps.
3. As the milk in the heavy-bottomed pan gets hot (not boiling), you need to add the custard milk mixture to it. Whisk this continuously, avoiding lumps.

Note: You can add the mixture in two parts; this helps to avoid lumps.

1. Once the mixture gets thick, add 2 tbsp of sugar and let the sugar dissolve. Once this is done, turn off the heat. Let the mixture come back to room temperature, and then refrigerate it.
2. Cut your fruits into bite-sized pieces and add them to the chilled custard mixture. Refrigerate the custard fruit mixture for another 15-20 minutes and serve the chilled fruit custard.
