Preparation:
Dissolve the custard powder in 1 cup milk.
Put remaining milk to heat. Add sugar and bring to boil. Once boiling,
add custard paste gradually, stirring continuously. Boil till mixture
coats the back of a spoon. Cool.
Beat well till smooth. Chill for 1-2 hours. Beat till smooth, again,
before serving.
Variations
3-4 minutes before taking off the fire, desired fruit may be added. Care
should be taken that very sour fruits are avoided, as they may curdle the
custard. Also, depending on the fruit used either chop finely or grate or
mash to a coarse pulp.
Ideal fruit to be added are apples, strawberries, peaches, mangoes,
cherries, pineapple, etc.
Fruity custard sauces taste excellent poured over a slice of sponge cake
or pudding of chilled fruit bowls. A quick and filling summer dessert
this. |
