Ingredients:

Custard Powder

Milk

Sugar

Fruits

Directions:

1. Add custard powder, and warm milk in a small bowl. Use a hand whisk to stir it thoroughly, ensuring no lumps. Set it aside.

2. Pour the whole milk into a heavy-bottom saucepan. Bring it to a gentle boil on medium-high heat. Stir occasionally.

3. Once the milk has boiled and begun to foam, add sugar and stir well for 1-2 minutes until it dissolves.

4. Reduce the heat to low and pour the custard powder mixture while stirring continuously. Make sure there are no lumps.

5. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the custard thickens. Then, remove the custard sauce from the heat and cool to room temperature. The custard thickens as it cools down. Then cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to chill.

6. While the custard is cooling, wash and chop the preferred fruits into bite-sized pieces. 

7. Once chilled, add the chopped fruits to the custard and gently mix everything well. 

Note: Avoid citrus fruits and melons
