Fruit Salad with Custard
This simple summer fruit salad is best made with very ripe fruit as it contains no additional sugar
The combination of fruit can be varied according to the season, making use of strawberries and cherries early in the summer, and grapes and plums later on. Serve it with custard for a special occasion, otherwise it makes a delicious light desert on its own.
For the fruit salad:Finely chopped
Apples
Bananas
Mango
Peaches
Seedless grapes
Pineapple
Kiwi fruit
I like to add whatever fruits available in the season.
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the custard :
1 pint whole milk 2 tablespoons vanilla custard powder 1 tablespoons sugar
1 pint whole milk 2 tablespoons vanilla custard powder 1 tablespoons sugar
Mix the custard powder and sugar in couple of tbsps of milk and keep it aside.Heat the milk in saucepan and when it starts boiling, pour this milk into the custard mix and mix it thorougly and pour it back into the sauce pan and simmer until the custard thickens.
Let it cool and add all thefruits and keep it in the fridge and serve .
Stumble it!

These little things matter so much to us don’t they.
I always like to involve kids in cooking, i never worry about the mess they do but little scared to hand over a small knife to them.But I guess he is big kid now as he really enjoyed chopping those fruits!!!
