- Use seasonal fruits that are ripe and sweet. Do not use tangy citrus fruits like melons and pineapple. You can also enjoy custard as is without adding any fruits.
- Once the custard has cooled (at room temperature or in the fridge), then add the mixed fruits.
- Mix custard powder with milk in a small bowl; the milk should be warm or at room temperature.
