Who doesn’t love to have desserts! Almost all of us.
But at the same time, we are concerned about the high calorie intake from it. Though, when it comes to fruit custard you can have it without any hesitation and without caring about the intake of calorie, because, it is a low-calorie dessert and on the same hand also easy to make. And the best part is, in this dessert we can replace the regular sugar with an artificial sweetener. And, unlike other custards it also contains a lot of antioxidants due to the fruits present in it.
Here come two recipes to make your favourite custards:
1) MANGO CUSTARD
• Add 2 cups of milk in a pot and stir and boil, but make sure to not burn it.
• On the other hand, take a pan, add 3tbsp of custard powder, ¼ th cup of cold milk, and stir well to have no lumps.
• Then, add this mixture to the milk in the pot (keep stirring while pouring) and keep stirring to form a smooth mixture.
• Next, add 1/4th cup of sugar in the mixture and stir well, till it turns creamy.
• Then, keep it aside and let it cool.
• On the other hand, take 3/4th cubes of mango in a blender and blend to smooth.
• Then, add the mango pulp you just made into the mixture you kept to cool.

2) MIXED FRUIT CUSTARD
