Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 litre Milk
- 50 g Sugar
- 50 g Custard Powder
- 100 ml Milk (for custard powder)
- 1 handful Purple Grapes
- 1 handful Green Grapes
- 1 Pomegranate
- 1 Apple
- 1 Banana
- 1 Mango
- Almonds (for garnish)
- Pistachios (for garnish)
- Pomegranate (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1
Pour 1 litre milk into a saucepan and stir in the sugar. Place over a medium heat and warm gently, stirring occasionally so it does not catch at the bottom.
- 2
Allow the milk to come to a gentle boil.
- 3
In a separate bowl, combine the custard powder with 100ml milk. Whisk thoroughly until completely smooth and free from lumps.
- 4
Reduce the heat slightly. Slowly pour the custard mixture into the hot milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- 5
Keep stirring over a medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes. Continue cooking for a further 5 minutes, or until the custard thickens to a smooth, creamy consistency.
- 6
Remove from the heat and leave the custard to cool. Stir occasionally while cooling to prevent a skin forming on the surface.
- 7
Once cooled to room temperature (or slightly chilled, if preferred), transfer the custard to a large serving bowl.
- 8
Prepare the fruit by washing, peeling and chopping as required. Slice the grapes if large, peel and dice the apple and mango, and slice the banana.
- 9
Fold the prepared fruit into the cooled custard until evenly combined.

Garnish with chopped almonds, pistachios and pomegranate seeds before serving. Garnishing is optional.
