Some days, out of nowhere, I get a craving for something sweet. But I didn’t want to reach for a store-bought dessert or make something overly indulgent. I wanted something light, refreshing, and just naturally sweet. That’s when fruit custard popped into my mind—creamy, wholesome, and full of fresh flavors.

What I love about this is how easy it is to make with just a few ingredients. No fancy techniques, no unnecessary sugar—just thickened milk, soft sabudana, fresh fruits, and a crunchy topping of nuts. It’s the kind of dessert that feels satisfying without weighing you down. Here’s how I made it!

Ingredients

• 1 cup sabudana (sago pearls) – soaked for 5-6 hours
• 1 cup milk – boiled and thickened slightly
• 2 tsp sugar/honey/custard powder (optional) – I skipped this for a natural flavor
• Mixed fruits – apples, bananas, oranges, or any of your choice
• Nuts for topping – almonds, walnuts, cashews, and dates

Recipe

1. Soak the sabudana for 5-6 hours until soft, then drain excess water.
2. Boil the milk and let it thicken slightly. If you prefer sweetness, add sugar, honey, or custard powder and mix well.
3. Add the sabudana to the milk and stir for a few minutes on low heat until well combined. Let it cool slightly.
4. Chop your fruits into bite-sized pieces.
5. Mix the fruits into the cooled milk mixture and stir gently.
6. Top with nuts and enjoy warm or chilled for a refreshing dessert!
