Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Milk
- 3 tbsp Vanilla custard powder
- 4 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1 medium (chopped) Apple
- 1 medium (sliced) Banana
- 100 grams (sliced) Strawberries
- 100 grams (halved) Seedless grapes
- 1 tsp Gelatin or agar-agar
- 2 tbsp (for gelatin/agar-agar) Water
- 100 ml Whipping cream
- 2 tbsp (optional, for topping) Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pistachios)
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin or agar-agar in 2 tablespoons of warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle boil over medium heat.
In a separate bowl, mix the vanilla custard powder with 3 tablespoons of cold milk to create a smooth paste.
Once the milk is boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir in the custard paste. Keep stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
Add sugar to the mixture and continue to stir until the custard thickens. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the custard from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, gently heat the dissolved gelatin mixture until it dissolves completely, but do not let it boil. Stir this into the cooled custard.
Once the custard has slightly thickened but is still pourable, fold in the fresh fruits (apple, banana, strawberries, and grapes). Mix gently to coat the fruits evenly.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the fruit-custard mixture for added creaminess.
Pour the fruit pudding mixture into a serving dish or individual dessert cups.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
Before serving, garnish with chopped nuts (optional) for added crunch and flavor.
