🍓 Milk & Fruit Dessert (Chilled Fruit Custard)

🧾 Ingredients:

• 2 cups milk (full-fat recommended)

• 2 tablespoons custard powder (vanilla or your favorite flavor)

• 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• 1/2 cup chopped apples

• 1/2 cup chopped bananas

• 1/2 cup chopped grapes

• 1/2 cup chopped mangoes or strawberries (seasonal fruits work best)

• Nuts & raisins (optional – almonds, cashews, pistachios)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Mix custard powder:

   • In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of custard powder with ¼ cup of cold milk. Stir well to avoid lumps.

2. Boil milk:

   • In a saucepan, bring the remaining milk to a boil. Add sugar and stir until dissolved.

3. Add custard mix:

   • Lower the heat and slowly pour the custard mixture into the boiling milk, stirring continuously.

   • Cook on low heat for 3–5 minutes until it thickens. Turn off heat and let it cool.

4. Chill:

   • Once cool, refrigerate the custard for at least 1–2 hours.

5. Add fruits:

   • Just before serving, mix in the chopped fruits and nuts (if using).

6. Serve chilled:

   • Garnish with mint leaves, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey if desired.

💡 Tips:

• Avoid adding citrus fruits like oranges or pineapple—they may curdle the milk.

• Only mix fruits before serving to keep them fresh and prevent browning.

• You can swap custard powder with cornflour and vanilla extract if needed.
