500 milliliters whole milk (full-fat milk) divided
3 tablespoons custard powder
¼ cup sugar
2 and ½ cups chopped mixed fruits I used a mix of apples, bananas, strawberries, oranges, and mangoes.

Take out ½ cup of milk in a bowl and add custard powder to it.
Mix well to make a lump-free mixture.
Heat the remaining milk in a pan over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add sugar and cook until it dissolves, stirring frequently.
Add custard mixture slowly and cook on medium heat until the mixture thickens (5-6 minutes), stirring continuously.
To check if the mustard has thickened properly, dip a silicon spatula in it and then move a finger over the spatula. It should make a clear streak. If not, then cook the custard for a little longer.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir for 1-2 minutes to cool it down slightly.
Cover the pan with cling film to prevent a cream layer from forming on top.
Let the custard rest until it cools down to room temperature.
Now refrigerate the custard and chill it for 3-4 hours.
When ready to serve, add fruits to the custard and mix well.
Serve chilled.

Stick to the measurements I have given. If they are not followed correctly, the fruit custard can turn out too thick or too thin.

Always let the custard cool completely before adding the fruit.

Add fruits only when you are ready to serve the custard.
