Custard

Ingredients:
2½ cups and 1/4th cups milk
3 tablespoons custard powder
¼ cup warm milk
4 to 5 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
Fruits of your choice (about 2 cups as desired )
- 1 medium apple
- ½ large mango (ripe)
- 1 medium banana (ripe)
- ½ medium pomegranat

Instructions:
Rinse the fruits thoroughly and chill them in the fridge. Refrigerating after chopping will let out juices from the cut fruits making the custard runny.
Heat 2 1/2 cups of milk in a pan or pot. Add sugar and stir until it dissolves.
Meanwhile add custard powder to a small cup and stir it with ¼ cup milk (warm or at room temperature). The mixture has to be smooth without any lumps.
When the milk turns hot (not boiling), pour 2 tbsp of the custard mix to the hot milk. Whisk well to incorporate it with the milk.
Repeat adding another 2 tablespoons custard mixture to the milk and whisk well. This way incorporate all of the custard mixture to the milk in 3 batches, whisking after each addition.
You may taste it at this stage and add more sugar if needed.
Keep stirring and cook on a low to medium heat until the custard turns thick. The custard must coat the back of the spoon well but must be yet of runny consistency.
Take it off the heat and whisk it well to make it super smooth. Cover immediately. Cool this completely and chill it in the fridge.
Let the custard cool completly
Now add your fruits in the batter and mix And place it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

And voilà! Your delicious custard is now ready!
