## About

This straightforward fruit-based dessert recipe uses creamy and tasty store-bought corn flour powder and sugar. The **Fruit Custard Recipe** is a popular and easy dessert that anyone can prepare without much experience. Kids like it because its texture and creaminess are similar to ice cream. Further, the popularity of this dessert is also linked to its bright and attractive colour, which is enhanced by a combination of fruits. In short, this dessert shortens the gap between modern and classical Indian sweets and desserts.

There are many different variations to this simple and easy **Fruit Custard Recipe**. The typical procedure is to make it with whole cream milk with store-bought eggless custard powder. But it can take different fruit flavors on top of the mixed fruits added to it. Add fruit puree like Mango, chocolate, orange, banana, and dry fruit flavour. In addition, the store-bought custard powder can be replaced with a homemade one. It can be prepared by mixing corn [flour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_starch) with powdered sugar.
