Custard Sauce For Fruit Recipes

FRUIT CUSTARD RECIPE

Steps:

• 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 2½ cups milk in a wide heavy bottom 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 test 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. (check video)
• 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.
• Whisk the custard well before serving. This ensures even and smooth fruit custard.
• Peel and chop the fruits to bite size. Add them to serving bowl or individual serving cups.
• Pour the custard over the fruits and gently mix. Serve fruit custard immediately.

Pour mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until slightly thickened and coats the back of the spatula, about 5 minutes.
