Fruit custard is a simple, tasty, and relatively healthy dessert option.
Ingredients
1
apple, 1 orange, 1 cup of cubed, ripe pineapple, 5-6 dates, 1/2 cup of
cubed, ripe mangoes (if in season), 1 small banana, 1/4 cup of glazed
cherries, 1/4 cup of chopped cashew nuts, 1/4 cup water, 2 tbsp sugar
For Custard Sauce
2 cups of milk, 3 tbsp of vanilla custard powder, 3 tbsp of sugar
How to make
Add
the custard powder to 1/4 cup milk, mix well, and set aside. Bring the
rest of the milk to boil and add sugar. Slowly add the custard mixture
and continue to cook until thick - about 5-7 mins. Remove from fire,
cool completely, and refrigerate. Cook the 1/4 cup water + 2 tbsp sugar
for about 3-4 mins until the syrup thickens a bit. It doesn't need to be
one-string, etc.
Remove from heat and set aside. Chop the
pineapple into small cubes and shred the dates into small pieces. Add
these to the hot syrup, mix well, cool completely, and refrigerate. An
hour before you need to serve the fruit custard, cut the other fruits
into small pieces, cube the cherries, chop the nuts and add to the
pineapple-date mixture. Mix well and refrigerate until you need toserve.
To serve: add 1/2 cup of the fruit salad to a bowl and top off with 1/2
cup chilled custard sauce.
