Fresh fruits - Finely chop the fruits, keep them in a bowl, drizzle some honey, toss well, cover and refrigerate. You can use any available fruits, however it is better to avoid citrus fruits if you are keeping the mixed fruit salad for sometime. Here I have used apple, banana, grapes, mango, strawberry, raspberries, blueberries, red & green grapes, peaches.
Vanilla custard preparation:
Mix the custard powder in half glass cold milk & sugar, make sure the powder dissolves completely. Boil the rest of milk in a pan using double boiling method (placing in a pan of boiling water). When the milk boils, add the custard & milk mix, stir well. Keep stirring till the custard is cooked and make sure it doesn't get lumpy. For thicker custard, add more custard flour to the cold milk (first step). Add the vanilla essence when you take it off the flame. Transfer the custard to a bowl and keep it to chill.
When serving, scoop the chilled fruits into bowls and then pour the custard over it and let it settle. Garnish with cherry, pomegranate pearls or any colourful fruit bits. Enjoy
This is a wholesome treat and you can add your kids' ice cream & jelly flavours...
(Note - Refrigerate the fruit and custard separately. Give a gentle whisk to the custard to remove lumps before serving. Make sure the fruits are not overripe).
