Fruits salad with custard is one such dessert which is relished by people of all ages. But the reason I made this is different, it is a season of festivals in the month of August in India. Since we are supposed to offer at least 5 varieties of fruits to God, we will obviously have a huge stock of it. In order to make good use of fresh fruits at one shot without any nagging about eating fruits, I make this thick, luscious and creamy salad with custard which is loved by all in the family.
Note: Do not use fruits such as jackfruit, mango and muskmelon since their strong smell will over power the salad. In case you love them make a salad with single fruit.
Also do not use watery fruits like watermelons, their watery extract will leave the salad tasteless.
The best combination would be apples, bananas, pears and pomegranate. But you are free to use fruits of your choice which are mild.
Ingredients :
A mix of freshly chopped fruits
1/2 litre of milk
4-5 tsp of custard powder
8-10 tsp of sugar.
Handful of glazed cherries to garnish
Method:
Put about 5 spoons of custard powder in a bowl.
Add 1/4 cup of milk and whisk it to a thick paste
Boil the remaining milk
Once it starts to boil, switch off the flame and pour the custard mix by stirring continuously. Custard should be smooth without any lumps.
Put it on low fire and add sugar. custard is bland so you might want to taste for your sugar preference
Form a smooth paste like consistency and switch off the flame
Custard is ready. You can serve this as a desert in itself hot / chilled.
To add it to fruits salad, custard needs to be cooled / chilled according to your preference. Add desired amount of custard and give it a nice mix. If you feel it to be thick you can adjust it by adding milk and sugar.
Tastes best when chilled
