Fruity Custard & Ice-Cream Twist

I love fruit custard.  Whenever I see so many fruits lying in the fruit basket the only thing that comes to my mind first is the fruit custard.  Its a very good way to consume different fruits together.  I like the thick consistency of custard.  I love to serve fruit custard with a twist.  This way it gives a visual treat at the same time totally unique taste that is obviously delicious. :)

I always serve it differently and it gives me immense pleasure when it comes out yummy.

So here is one of my experiments with fruit custard that is surely gonna be your favourite too.  Here what you will first notice is the beauty of the whole dessert.. it looks stunning... I lovedddddd it.  Its so easy to make too.  Just assemble the things and dig in straight away.

I was very confused as to what name should I give to this dessert.  Finally decided Fruity Custard & Ice-Cream Twist. nothing better came to my mind :D 

Here again I used my chocolate frosting that is not getting finished up.. huhh :D

I recommend to use sweet n salty biscuits for the base.. they gave it a very nice crunch n flavour.. Icecream should not be any other than vanilla or chocolate.. I used Stracciatella (vanilla icecream with small bits of chocolate). You can decorate the dessert with your choice of things.

So what are you waiting for guys . go n try it out. Happy Cooking :)

CUSTARD POWDER HALWA

Hi friends, everybody, in my family, loves sweets that's why I never feel hesitated to make sweet dishes as I know everybody gonna like it.  

On my last visit to India, I first time saw the kesar pista and butterscotch flavours of custard powder so I jumped into buying them. But when I made fruit custard with the same it didn't come up to my taste, I mean vanilla flavour is the best for fruit custard. From that time, these two flavours of custard powder were lying unused in my pantry.  Last week I saw them and thought to used them up asap.  So I searched the internet for the same.  There I saw many recipes but all were for vanilla flavoured custard so I ended up with this custard powder halwa with a few changes to suit my taste. But to my surprise kesar pista flavour came up very nicely in this halwa and it didn't take much time to finish up :)  The best thing about this halwa is that it took only 2 tbsp of ghee to make it.. 

So here I am giving this recipe. Hope you all would also like it.  Let me know how it came out for you guys.. Happy cooking...
