Fruit Custard


Fruit custard is one of the those desserts that i have grown up having along with jelly used to take a prime portion in the desserts which i made...Some times it served plain and some times with fruit jelly. In this recipe the technique and method of making the custard remains the same. 


So you can use any milk either almond milk or normal milk and still get perfect results..The fruits I used are seasonal fruits.. It is healthy, tasty, simple, and very easiest dessert. Kids will love this and it is nice way ti include fruits in their diet.It will leave them asking for more...


You can mixed fruit anything of you choice. (Banana, pineapple, papaya, muskmelon, chikoo, pear, Kiwi, grapes seedless, strawberry etc)But don't add watermelon as it oozes water. But i use my favourite fruits apple, pomagarate, jackfruit, mango. Especially jackfruit is my favourite fruit when we taste a spoon of fruit custard it should be yummy to your mouth...
