Custard with seasonal fruits is my all-time favourite. It is a win-win every time!! Yesterday I was recalling and missing my good old childhood days when my mother used to cook rustic but yummiest meals for us. There were not many options for new recipes at that time. Sundays were the special days when something different was cooked. Indian sweets or desserts were cooked generally on Sundays or occasions. Sometimes fruit custard or fruit cream were prepared in the name of continental desserts(thanx to the internet that being global we prepare numberless delicacies today from around the world!!)
Still being nostalgic I decided to prepare a custard pudding with mixed fruit but with a twist. I too made a caramel sauce which took this simple desert’s flavour to another level making it a satisfying one. Have you ever tried fruits with caramel sauce? Try once and u would definitely fall in love with this combination…I can bet the flavour is to die for!! You can set this custard pudding in separate bowls to serve individually
Let us come to the recipe…
