Easy Fruit Custard is a delicious, creamy and flavourful dessert made with custard powder and fresh fruits.
Fruit Custard is the one which my whole family enjoys any time of the day. I make this fruit custard at least once a month because my both kids love it a lot.
I still remember my son used to call this custard as cusbird when he is 2 years old. Even now sometimes for fun, he says the same. He is now going to be 10 next month, I can’t believe that he 10 and they are growing very fast.

What is custard powder? I am not familiar with that term.
Hi Bonnie Nicholls, custard powder is the one which thickens when mixed with milk .Here I used bird's brand.
Oh, like pudding mix. Now I get it!
Yes, your right it's like pudding mix. After making the custard we mix it with fresh fruits.
This recipe looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it! I don’t know if it’s because I’m on my phone or what but the location services kept popping up. I don’t turn them on and it was a bit annoying. Other than that great job on this recipe. Thank you for sharing
