Fruit Salad

#fruitsalad#easydesserts

Ingredients: vanilla custard prepared of ½ litre milk, 2 bananas, 1 apple, ½ sweet lemon or 1/2 orange, 1 chikoo, ½ cup of dried cranderries (or grapes and pomegranate), 1 tbsp of grated pistachio and almonds with 8 – 10 saffron leaves and a tsp of cardamom powder.

Recipe:

1.       Prepare the custard per the traditional way and allow it to cool down. If there are lumps, then just use a blender to smoothen it. Refrigerate it.

2.       Peel off the bananas and give it two vertical perpendicular slits (like a cross). Now slice it horizontally at every 2mm. Big cuts of bananas doesn’t taste good (not rich, but all the way, fully ripe bananas make the custard yummier).

3.       For other fruits (apple and chikoo), cut them in 3 mm small slices. Do not peel off apple. Its skin contains nutrients.

4.       For the citric fruits, peel them off and take the flesh carefully.

5.       Dried cranberries/ grapes should be cut in halves. 

6.       Mix the fruits and the ½ tbsp of grated pistachio and almond, saffron and cardamom powder with the custard and allow it to chill for an hour.

7.       Garnish it with remaining dry fruits powder. Serve chilled.

Tips: You can add your other favourite fruits as well, besides these essentials. Papaya/ melons are a bad combination with milk. So avoid using those. Even citric fruits, use minimally possible.

Ingredients: 5 slices of milk bread (unsweetened) with sides, 2 kiwis horizontally sliced, 7- 8 strawberries chopped fine, thick vanilla custard prepared of ½ litre milk, strawberry crush 1 tbsp, kiwi crush 3 tbsp, Dairy Milk silk grated, ½ cup of sweet lemon juice, 2 cups variety biscuits granulated unevenly (more of Marie).

Preparation Time: 10 min + 15 min to prepare custard

Recipe:

1.       Prepare the custard per the traditional way and allow it to cool down. If there are lumps, then just use a blender to smoothen it. Cut the sides of the bread slices.

2.       Take a platter (oval preferred). Place two slices of bread side by side to cover the base.

3.       Spread kiwi crush on the layer of bread evenly to cover the breads entirely. Now, sprinkle the biscuit granules to form an even layer over the kiwi crush. On this, add the sweet lime juice over this.

4.       Place two slices of bread as another layer over this. Then form a layer of chopped strawberries.

5.       Place the last slice of bread in the centre on the chopped strawberry as a ‘step – up’. Now, spread the custard on the bread – first evenly and then entirely to cover the entire platter.

6.       Over this, use the kiwi slices, grated chocolate and strawberry crush to make your own presentation.

7.       Allow it to set in refrigerator for half an hour.

Tips: Instead of a platter, you can as well set it as a pudding in individual pudding cups. Here, the tanginess of strawberries, kiwi and sweet lemon is balanced with the sweetness of the custard and the crushes used, not to forget the chocolate!
