Fruit Salad with Custard

It was my hubby's birthday this week and i was confused what kind of dessert to prepare for him. I wanted something not too sweet and something which looks lovely. While shopping, a mixed fruit box caught  my eye & suddenly thought of preparing him a birthday special Fruit Salad. The custard recipe is similar to my Vanilla custard recipe. It was really yummy & he enjoyed too.  I'm sure you'll also love it. Try it out !!

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Corn flour (Cornstarch)
• 2 cups Milk 
• 1 Egg  
• 1 tbsp butter 
• 1/2 cup or less Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla essence   
• Sliced fruits

Directions

1. Whisk egg in a bowl. Add sugar and vanilla essence. Beat well and keep aside.
2. Mix cornflour and 5 tbsp milk separately and keep aside.
3. Take a container, melt butter on medium heat, add milk and stir. 
4. Transfer little hot milk from the container into the egg mixture. Stir & then pour the egg mixture into the boiling milk. Keep on stirring till you obtain a thick mix.
   
5. Allow it to cool and sieve the custard to avoid small lumps.
6. Refrigerate for 2 hours and mix with your favourite fruits. I have used strawberry, kiwi, pineapple, banana and grapes.
