Pineapple Custard

Hello my Foodie Friends, I hope you all are doing great. As of now, you all must be knowing my love for desserts. Yes, I have a sweet tooth and I love to relax and cherish my bowl of dessert after lunch (especially). I think that's the best moment of my day and I forget all my worries and tensions with that single spoon of love.

This is the reason you can find a number of dessert recipes on my blog. If you're a dessert lover like me that you must check these recipes (click here). Whether is a traditional Indian dessert or a dessert with International flavors, you can find them all. Some of my favorites are Rasgulla, Gulab Jamun, Phirni, Shahi Tukda, Cheesecake, Mousse, Pannacotta, Pudding, Custard and the list goes on and on..........

Today's recipe is one of my favorites when Pineapples are available in full swing. Pineapple is such a versatile fruit like Mango which can be paired easily with any kind of sweet dish. You can have it as chutney, cake, ice-cream, custard, jam, etc etc etc......I love to make Pineapple Custard (during this season) to relish the rich flavors of this multifaceted fruit.

Pineapple Custard is very easy to prepare but needs a little bit of effort and time but the end result is so satisfying that each and every step is worth it. There are two steps in making this delectable dessert firstly preparing the custard and the other one is to make the jelly. So, without any further ado, let's begin with the recipe:

Fruit Custard

            

Hello Fellas........Summers have arrived in almost every part of India which brings summer vacations too. As the kids are home they always ask for some sweet treats, isn't it?  As a mother how many times a day we can give chocolates, brownies or other sweet things to our kids, that always remains a challenge!

We always want to feed healthy to our family. If we can fulfill our family's craving and that too in a healthy manner then nothing can make us more contented. In order to gratify the dessert craving of your kids, make them a healthy Mixed Fruit Custard. 

Usually, the custard is a cooked mixture of milk/cream and egg yolk; its consistency can vary from thin pouring sauce to thick pastry cream. The cooking option also varies. But, the method I have used here is very easy and crowd-pleasing too. Moreover, it's eggless. This recipe of Custard will not only satisfy the dessert craving but it is loaded with the nutrients of milk, fruits, and dry fruits. You can add or subtract any fruit as per your or your family's liking.

Mixed Fruit Custard is a very old school recipe. We have grown up eating this Custard along with other desserts made by our mom during the summer vacation or any other occasion. The Custard is usually made by mixing the fruits with the custard sauce along with some dry fruits. This is sometimes known as Fruit Salad with Custard.

Few things to keep in mind while making this custard is that:

• Reduce the milk to half or make use of whole milk (if available). This enhances the richness of the custard.
• Add fruits once the custard is completely cooled down otherwise the custard will not get thickened.
• Strain the custard through a strainer to get a silky smooth texture  

So, without any further ado let's indulge ourselves in this scrumptious dessert:
