Hooray I am happy to share this Luxurious Rich Fruit Custard with you. Its quite rich, creamy, tasty enriched with dry fruits and tropical fruits. To make this custard rich have added pomegranates, mangoes, apples, dry figs, almonds, cashews, walnuts and saffron hence the name Rich Fruit Custard. My mom just loved it and she has only finished all the custard. I and dad could barely eat rich fruit custard lols 🙂 …… Also this is eggless fruit custard. Fruitholics forget calories once in a while and must try this rich fruit custard. Sometimes its great to indulge in a fruity affair.
We had been to Dadar market and bought lot of fruits from there. With all the fruits in the fridge I instantly thought of making custard. Next time I will try some other variation with custard may be …. well will share that with you soon.
Also you could choose any fruits you love along with dry fruits of your choice. Customize the custard as per your own choice. Even plain vanilla custard with dry fruits tastes amazing.
