Mixed Fruit Custard

I think I may have found a pretty good approximation of the custard from yesterday, over at an Indian/Pakistani recipe blog. I am stealing it wholesale to post below:


Simple, healthy (sort of) and delicious dessert for a warm summer evening.

* Whole Milk 500ml
* Custard powder 2 tbsp
* Sugar as per taste
* Diced mixed fruits 1 cup
* Jelly 1/2 cup
* Vanilla extract 1 tsp

Procedure:
Boil milk. Once boiled, lower heat and add the sugar.
Mix custard powder in half a cup of cold milk
Slowly pour custard powder in hot milk and keep stirring
Cook till it passes the back of spoon test (take a wooden spoon and dip in the custard, run your finger through the middle of the custard on the back of the spoon, if a clear path is left, the mixture is ready otherwise cook for some more time)
Let it cool outside, once it reaches room temperature, put it in the refrigerator till its cold.
Add the fruits ( i added kiwi, oranges, apples, grapes, blue berries, mango and pineapple) and diced jelly.
Serve cold.


I am so going to try this. The version I had included grapes, bananas, apples, and some other unidentified varieties of fruit. So good. And, as noted above, almost kind of healthy! Seems pretty easy, too. I'll post about it if I get around to giving it a go.
