Instructions

- Make a smooth and lump free paste out of it and mix in the heating milk.
- Now add sugar in milk and stir till the sugar dissolves. Keep the flame very low and stir continue till the milk begins to thicken. It is very important to stir continuously as to avoid forming lumps in the custard. It will take about 10- 12 minutes.
- Turn off the flame and keep the custard aside to cool down. Add raisins and mix very well.
- Divide the fruit custard in 3 individual bowls and garnish with 1/2 teaspoon of fresh cream and sprinkle some chaat masala just before serving.

Notes
You can add your favorite fruits for making this fruit custard at home. Fresh cream is an optional ingredient here. You can add some blanched cashew nuts and almonds too.
Chef Tips:
- If you mix the fruits with custard much ahead there are chances that it might get watery, hence try to add fruits just before serving.
- Vanilla custard paste can be prepared well in advance, you can even keep it in refrigerator for two days.
- The quantity of sugar I mentioned is just right enough for enough sweetness as even the fruits lend their own sweetness when we bite. If you want it more sweeter, then you can add some more sugar in it.
- You can add fruits like sapota (chikoo), strawberries in season, tinned pine apple pieces to fruit custard. Try to avoid fruits like pear, watermelon, muskmelon as they change the taste of fruit custard.
